With a 15y.o. bike you might want to check out the C&V thread. That's not an old bike by their standards, but you could get some very good technical advice and support. And don't listen to everything your LBS says. They don't know you or your riding style and road preferences. (You need "wet" brakes? You plan to compete in cyclocross? Or commute along river beds? Chase tornadoes? Ride down Mont Ventoux every other week?) Just saying'.
