so your saying go with the 105 " R7000" for $300.. I'm kind of leaning that way too actually.
They just look a lot better, and the SRAM take-off's don't come with FD

Bike is 7 years old since build, and shifters were moved over from an AL frame i rode the hell out of. 70% of wear on shifters from first bicycle.
This frame i only rode seriously for 2 years, rode somewhat for 2, and little or not at all last 3. Wound up damaging my feet from ill-fitting shoes and upper-lower back from sliding a slammed position
So plan is now, flip the stem over, sit-up, ride easy if possible. If not possible sell. Bicyle blue-book showing a value of $750. in good condition, so even if i fix and sell, I'll still be $400. ahead. Hoping to ride again though
If anyone has impression , likes/dislikes 105-7000 please share. I would expect it to be on par with 7900 right ?- (function, not weight)
