The reason people think you are trolling is that you are making extreme claims without any attempt to engage in a debate. The advantages and disadvantages of modern versus vintage are not as clear cut as you pretend that they are. By the way, I had the 2d post on this thread and I agreed with the GCN video that modern bikes have a lot of advantages over vintage bikes. In fact, most people here I suspect don't disagree that a great many things have improved. If you spent any time reading the posts in C&V, you would find a quite a few posts saying exactly that.

The push back is that (a) vintage bikes are quite good to ride if you like maintaining them and (b) the differences are not as extreme as you suggest.
