Yeah I’m a big fan of discs but definitely the early 2000’s bikes don’t lose much to modern ones to be honest. In fact I doubt you will be able to get Sram AXS batteries when they are as old as my CAAD (18 years old). At which point you will likely have to bin it or do a hack to get it to work.
Funny how good mechanical shifting is when you route cables externally, it’s only when you try to route them through headsets it becomes problematic and leads to electronic groupsets which cost an arm and a leg.
Nice bike btw. One of my favourite Campagnolo eras was the 11sp before they went with the weird 4bolt cranks. Love silver spokes/hubs with carbon rims.

Boom! Looks rapid and cracks me up how 20 years on and the industry is struggling to do much better than these machines, despite vast sums of cash being thrown behind aerospace carbon and disc brakes. I did something similar, though shallower rims and overall less stealth.
