new stuff is nice. would rather have new (10 speed dura-ace/ultegra/record/sram) it shifts so well and i couldn't be arsed to reach down and twiddle with a lever when sti's are so easy to use.
more speeds are better too as it makes it easier to match a gear to your cadence.
old bikes are fine if you are into that retro thing but i'm not. (would happily ride an old frame with modern gears though)
my only concession to aesthetics over function is white bar tape.
