Please Help! I need help on a purchase.
I need some much needed advice for my next bike purchase. I have been going over countless options and have finally come to a conclusion but I still need some help. I am tired of my sleepless nights going over this stuff so I thought I would turn to the community for some help. Here are my options:
1. Keep what I have and upgrade.
I currently ride a 2002 Masi Gran Corsa with Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels, Easton EC90 Superlite full carbon fork, Easton EC90 carbon bars, Easton EC70 stem, FSA Carbon Pro crankset, Easton EC70 carbon seat post and a Sellle Italia SLR XP saddle. The bike came with a full Ultegra gruppo. With this option I wanted to upgrade everything to the 10 speed Shimano Dura Ace 7800.
2. Rather than spending 1500.00 on a new component set, buy a new bike. Something along the lines of a Trek Madone 5.2, Specialized Tarmac or S-Works, or a Kestrel.
Please help!!! Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance for the help!

The upgrade will cost you less but I'm not sure you'll get your $1,500 worth (and I am a Dura-Ace "snob").
Any excuse to buy a new bike...
