Athena looks great, if you can find it in stock in silver at UK / euro prices.

I prefer the pre-2005 (or was it 07) Veloce, Centaur groups with multiple shifts up and down and a more graduated feel on the FD with chainline trim ability (esp on a triple). Record & Chorus always the standard, eh? The new Ergos are comfortable but with large hands the old ones fit me well.

Wireless electronic and 10 pound production bikes are almost here. That makes me feel like my 15yo 10sp bikes are almost vintage. Maybe Dark, too.
