Hi, txela,
I'm not much into personal shopping nor am I up on current offerings. But, there is a thread that just for this purpose. Maybe read through it to see what's important (and not) and get feedback on older stuff.

Feel free to bump that thread with fresh questions. That's reasonable as offerings change every year.
Know that once you get to a certain level of quality and angles on a frame, they don't need to be modern in order to perform well...or more precisely, hold you back. A frame cannot make anyone faster...none of them can do that. The entire purpose of hunting for the best frame for you is to get the one that lets you express your full athletic potential.
