Subject: Looking for advice - new wheels or new frame?
I ride a Felt S32 (entry level tri bike) which I have upgraded some of the components. I have Dura Ace cranks w/ceramic bottom bracket and Ultegra rear/front derailleurs.

My question is if I only have around $1400 to spend, should I buy a used carbon frame (I have seen some 2009 specialized transition and equivalent for around this price) or should I buy some TT wheels (Easton EC90 Aero or TT or something like used Zipp 404s). Can I get some advice of what you guys think would be more beneficial - the new frame or new aero wheels. Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you're going to look at wheels HED has awesome aerowheels right in that price range.
