I’m an average age-grouper, with relatively strong biking, doing all types of events but my main focus is on half and full iron man races.
Today I’m riding a 2012 Slice Hi-mod, with full mechanical Ultegra except for a 3D rotor crank with a Pwr2Max meter. Zipp 404 front ad 808 rear completes the bike.
I’m quite happy with the setup I have but there is always the craving for something new and improved. I’m considering two options.
The first option is to buy a new “super-bike” – a SC 9 series, the new Argon 18 119, BMC TM01 and so on. All with new Ultegra Di2. The current wheels will stay, saving me some purchase costs.
The second option is to stay with the frame I have but upgrade the drivetrain to Di2, the brakes to Tri-Rig and maybe add some other “functional bling”.
The main thing for me in order to choose between the options is to understand how much better in terms of speed and overall riding experience the newer frames will be compared to the Hi-mod I have. I would appreciate your views on this. Thanks.
