Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Take whichever bike is the apple of your eye and some people would think it is just the rotary dial version of a phone that nobody on their right mind would bother to use.
I would be more confident tuning and riding this bike on a century ride than a brand new entry level road bike from a big box store. Sadly A: not my size, B: got too many bikes already.
