New frame or new wheels?

I have just sold my TT bike - just no room in the house for 4 bikes. So I have money burning a hole in my pocket.

I currently have a colnago dream HP - a few years old but light and stiff, running some American Classic 420 wheels.

Now I'm thinking of an upgrade, either a 2007 Specialized Tarmac SL frame ... or some plush wheels, maybe Fulcrum racing zero's

I ride weekends, shorter sportives and triathlon up to middle distance ... any thoughts?

    If you are happy with the frame, I'd get some Fulcrum Zeros or Campag Shamals.
    I like bikes...

    Not really sure why FRZs or Shamals are an upgrade on the AC420s, given they're less aero, and not much lighter.

    you need a road bike that can serve for triathlon as well by the sounds of things.

    do you have tri bars for the colnago and can you get in a good position on it aerodynamically?

    I'd consider a pair of more aerodynamic hoops for triathlon use. something with a 50mm+ rim and low spoke count

    I think the real problem is my brother-in-law has just got a new Scott Addict and I'm feeling a little green with envy!
