Lastly the rider's fit, down to details like handlebar width and stem length, anything that might make the bike feel more laborious to put power into (while seated and while standing). I regularly refurbish older bikes and notice that an old-school chain seems to absorb a lot of power in response to any given degree of cross-chaining, also that some components like bottom brackets or derailer pulleys can have a lot of bearing/seal drag from old grease. |

I might suggest that the dead feeling is more about perception than the frame itself in the case of you getting back on a frame after a long time. You may have become used to the feeling of the other bikes and by contrast the old bike feels very different.
