I actually had a modern Centaur on my Pinarello.
I swapped it for an old pantographed Victory/Triomphe mix, because of the looks (as advised by the very forum - "Oh no, you have to restore it! Blah blah blah").
To be honest, I don't need a carbon frame or modern components. My bike is fast and light enough. Too fast sometimes and I don't even race it. Going down few hills in Essex I was shitting myself already.
The only thing I wish I had, was a modern groupset and Ergo shifters.
