I chimed in on one of the other threads, but I don't really get the need to distinguish 90's/early brifters. I had a 1995 raleigh with 8 speed 105 from 2014-2018 and aside from having a quill stem was exactly the same as the 2018 allez with Claris components I currently use for road, and even the 11 speed CX bike I race on. I just don't see what's special about them, especially since 8-10 speed (until the most recent Tiagra) are basically interchangeable.
