Thanks for the compliment. I like showing people how the cheaper models can be attractive and functional bikes, since it's so much easier to find such bikes in good condition for a low price today.
Of course it lowers the hurdle for cash-strapped riders who might consider having a nice vintage ride as a second bike.
Having a second bike has the added benefit of allowing riders to more readily discover advantages of different fit parameters, though I have to admit that for me it took quite a few bikes before I had a sense of the whole fit thing as relates to frame dimensions and geometry, and suitable fore/aft saddle positioning and stem length for a given frame and it's intended usage.
