I am currently riding a 2008 Trek Equinox 9.9 and the only significant upgrade I have made is the addition of race wheels (a Hed Disc and Tri-spoke -- tubulars), and the occasional new cassette and chain.
I am now at the point where I am considering upgrading. The dilemma I am facing is whether I would be better off adding something like tri-rig omega breaks, a new more integrated front-end/aerobar and possibly switching to Di2 and to a clincher disc and deep front wheel (ie. aerocoach) on my current bike. Or, would I be better off just purchasing a whole new bike.
Based on my budget I would probably not be able to get a new bike with those some additions. Would likely be a bike with mechanical ultegra, aerobars and wheels that came with bike, or the wheels I currently have.
So, I am looking for the collective slowtwitch opinion on the better path forward. I am just not sure whether the upgrade in frames and increased integration is worth more time than the above upgrade in components (or any other upgrades anyone might recommend).
Thanks in advance for everyone sharing their thoughts.
