second hand or new?

Although 2300 has the shifter thumb button, Claris not. Similar but not identical

My mistake.

I am very happy to tinker with 30 plus odd year old bikes but wanted a modern bike so had to relent and go to a bike shop and buy a new bike.

Glad I did as I ended up with a bike that fitted me, the technology is completely alien but hey, times change
