Part of me really wants a new road bike. Something with carbon wheels, disc brakes and electronic ****ing. The the more raional part of me says stick with what I've got. It still works fine, and since track racing is my primary focus, I don't ride on the road that much.
Anyway, just thought I'd share since it's cold and wet here and I'm a bit bored at work.
I currently use an old Felt F4 (High mod carbon, 10 speed mechanical dura ace). Super nice bike at the time but now seems quite dated. I would love a new fancy bike, but $10,000+ for a superbike is not even close to responsible spending right now. I have carbon wheels but rarely use them outside racing. Most of the time I'm using old open pros with a heavy hub powertap.
