Bit of a dilemma (but a nice one to have)

I'm considering purchasing a new bike but am wondering if i should just upgrade the components on my current bike instead.. Bike is used for club runs and evening rides (whist its light). Its currently a 2016 Cannondale Supersix Evo with SRAM Force 22 and Zonda wheels.

If i were to buy a new bike, i'd want something with electronic shifting (because i can) and maybe (just maybe) a titanium frame.

but, i'm thinking i could just get SRAM eTap and a decent set of wheels onto the current bike to satisfy my electronic shifting itch...

What do you think?
If i went down the upgrade route, the etap could be moved eventually if i do upgrade the frame further down the line

New bike if you can afford it all. Keep the other when you fancy riding something different

I’d think a race frame in Ti + etap would be £5k minimum. Depends whether you have the cash at your disposal

Remember to budget to insure a bike of that value too

Those Zonda wheels are already pretty decent. Doubt if you’d really notice much difference by upgrading, so I’d definitely go down the N+1 route.

Ti frameset - £1200
SRAM etap - £1300

That's 2.5k............so you could get all the rest for well under a 5k total
