I recently refreshed the Battaglin MAX I built up in 2007 from an early 90s frame. New bar with shorter reach and drop (not getting any younger nor more flexible), new 12-30 cassette and medium cage rear derailleur (still not getting any younger), new chain, touched up all the chipped paint, new old Look pedals, new cables and housing, new tires, and of course new white bar tape. Had my LBS align the rear hanger. Took it out on Friday and I'm in love again! Scored numerous PRs on segments I've ridden over 100 times. Totally worth the time and expense.
