It's less about the frame and more about the parts. A vintage frame with modern components often makes a great riding bike. I have a 1978 Kvale and an early 1980s Baylis equipped with 11-speed Campy. Both are wonderful riding bikes and are in my regular rotation, together with an eTap equipped Rob English, a titanium Spectrum, and a carbon LandShark. Yes, the Baylis and the Kvale are heavier, but they climb, shift, and handle as well as anything else out there. If you didn't have modern shifting on your Pinarello, it may have been the parts that made you look for something else.
