Modern bikes are made better but that is also why they have no soul and in 20 years time will be a recycled coke can rather than a piece of history still alive.
See the thing that annoys me about this (and I don't mean you in particular, happens in most of these types of discussions) is that quite often peoples opinion is based on what they see in Evans or Halfords or even most LBS's. Theres a whole load of stuff out there. Look at Singular, Cotic, Dialled, Canfield,Surly,Salsa,Pipedream,Stanton,Curtis, Enigma, Niner, Transition... I could go on. All making very nicely made interesting bikes. And if you go bespoke I don't think theres ever been a greater choice.
