OK, follow-up question. If I were to upgrade to 8 speed STI brifters, it sounds like my vintage 7400 RD and chainrings would work fine (per above posting and sheldon's website)....but I would also need an 8 speed cassette, which I see on ebay at reasonable prices. Would the 8 speed cassette fit onto a modern LBS factory-built shimano compatible rear wheel/hub??? Sorry if this is a "dumb" question but I didn't see it addressed anywhere.
