Personally, I buy the Jamis (Not a fan of their bikes). You have already had an old bike like that Bianchi at one time, why not try something new. I like shifters at the hood. I grew up riding and racing with down tube friction shifters. The 600s are well build like a pick-up truck. THey work fine and do not break. the modern stuffs are a little smoother, faster, more accurate, and lighter too. What's not to like? This is the wrong place to be asking this question but why buy new furniture only to have them just like the ones in your mother's house you grew up in?
