Should I get this Six13???
Hey-
Ok... there is a Six13 on clearance at a bike shop 'round here.
It's $3,500 for-
Full Dura-Ace
Mavic SSL ksyriums
FSA k-wing bars
USE Alien post
Team replica Fysik Arione
Should I try to dump my Trek and go for it? I'm going to go test it in a few hours.

in fact, it is this one exactly except with Dura Ace instead of the Hollwgram/ Record mix (which I would prefer).

Well, if I were spending $3500 and was inclined to buy campy then that's what I'd get. No need to settle with that kind of cash at stake (not that Dura-ace is bad, it's just not your first choice).

nope. I'd keep the trek. you wont get 3500 for the trek, and its in fine shape (I'm assuming)...so you'd only be losing money on a bike that is equivalent to the one you have. wait 2 years, then buy a new bike.

I was originally aiming for a pure CF frame.....but I couldn't pass up a good deal. Besides I'll just sell it in a couple of years and get all my money back.....that was my reasoning. You want to trade frames? I got a size 60 here in mint condition.

believe it or not, aluminum isn't evil. 53-11 may think so, and i'm not saying it isn't his right to, but ultimately, you need to ride it and see if it feels right. if you liek it enough, and you can do it $ wise, then spend the money and get the bike you want. i promsie it'll be more fun to buy the new bike
