I don't want to go Di2 - either external wires or drilling the frame. Now I'm thinking that I'll ride what I have through the winter and early spring, and overhaul the entire thing when the weather is bad. I bet the bottom bracket grease is dry after 30 years! Then see what's in the market for the spring season. My guess is Shimano will introduce 12 speed Micro Spline and wireless for Dura Ace, but that will also be prohibitively expensive. I don't know if SRAM will ever bring etap to 11 speed on a "normal" freehub with "normal" BB and $150 cranks, but probably not. So I will probably be looking at a new 105 or SRAM Rival groupset later in the spring. Not sure but I think I'd like the SRAM shift mechanism better than Shimano. SRAM Rival is from 2014 though, seems long in the tooth.
