I think that you'll find old parts to be about the same price as new parts. As far as new vs. old, the only new thing that I just can't stand is a Shimano hollowtech crank on an older bicycle. It just rubs me the wrong way!

Good luck with your exams, Oli - hit that revision hard! Look forward to hearing from you again when you've finished them.
