Which nowadays makes for some well-maintained second-hand bikes.

Well, I bought my Koga Miyata Radonneur when I was 27, not really old, neither affluent, but just graduated from University and my first salary went on the Koga Miyata.
Now I am 67 and I am still riding the Koga albeit updated, modernized with 11 speed and more commuter / touring friendly handlebars.
It is still a brilliant bike and my son rides the same bike just a few years younger than mine.
