I ride modern too: 2002 Allez Al, 2007 Roubaix carbon, 2012 Culprit Croz Blade aero carbon, with Di2 and disc brakes. I've had the Legnano forever and the Raleigh just kind of fell out of the sky. Told my wife, "It followed me home, can I keep it?" Kind of like an ugly puppy. Right now the (no longer ugly) Raleigh is getting the most rides.
