Ok I'm stuck. I moved from North GA to FL and am transitioning from great mountain biking to flat land ground covering excursions and need a new bike. Its time to trash the 1970's French Motobecane Garage Sale Special that I spent more on JB weld than the bike and get something a little better. I am in med school so money's tight but I found a couple of good deals.
They both are used, cost roughly $500 and claim "ridden only a few times"

First :
2001 Univega Modo Vincere with full Campagnolo Veloce.

I like this bike better but it is 300 miles away so the trip is a little discouraging if the bike does not fit well after driving 5 hours.

Second :
2009 Motobecane Sprint with Ultegra 6600/105

I know this bikesdirect moto is not the same as the 1970's one I have but the componentry looks good and the frame feels good under the ride.

Both bikes are from someone who wanted to get into cycling but didnt have the time/commitment to do it.


So all in all my question is, which one would you buy? Thanks
