It is a lot. Most would do better to spend about 25% of that, still get a really good bike, and ride it for 10mins extra each time. For most, the 'benefits' of a 7k bike over something like a 1k bike aren't noticeable.

I've been to Oslo in December - loved it. Bitterly cold though! The type of cold where you really can't spend too long outside.
Some great Christmas markets at that time of year.
I've been to Norway a couple of times and haven't found it nearly as frightenly expensive as I'd heard it to be. If...
I thought I had shin splints a couple of years ago

If the frame is top, top quality and in A1 condition I think people might go for it but if its a fairly average (albeit a Bianchi!) frame then people will just see it for what it is - a 30 odd year old frame with some newer bits to tart it up.
I've got a 90's Bottecchia frame in the loft. I'm...
Hmmm? Can you kit out a 70's frame with 'modern' bits & bobs?
I reckon a faithful (where appropriate) restoration job might be the way to go? Also, if you do this, then you've got a reason to go and do the Eroica!
How much confidence do you have in this? 100%? 75%? Less?
From following cycling since 1986, all I say is keep an open mind. I've seen loads of 'new generations' herald a new era and then get busted.
I hope Sky are clean and I reckon they are but if if everyone thinks the doping problem now...
