How will I know....

when it's time to get a new bike?
I bought my Giant Defy 4 in November and it is currently serving me very well! I want to start racing criteriums next year and have a sneaking feeling that come March, a combination of my annual bonus, lighter evenings, the race season looming and pages and pages of pornographic reviews in Cycling Plus for 'race machines' will make me do something impulsive
What I wanna know....will there be any point? Or will the trusty Defy hold it's own with the 4th cats??

.. and why bother changing just the chainset when you can buy a whole new bike?!
(ps. My Defy 1 is serving me fine in 4th cat crits at the moment though.. although having said that it does have a stiffer BB than the Defy 4, and I do have a relatively aggressive position due to my body shape. )
If you can hold your own in races, then so can the bike.
Thanks for the advice Al, perhaps I can come and be your domestique? I might learn something!
