Subject: RE: New Bike? Wheels? Power Meter? Best way to spend $$ Your situation depends upon "many" variables including how much room do you have in your budget:
The current bike has how wide of a rear triangle? ie-can you fit a 10 speed cassette on the rear wheel? If not, then maybe upgrading to a newer bike "package" might make sense. What kind of shape is the current bike in? Does it need an overhaul or should it be put on the indoor trainer?
The aerobars are not adjustable? Do you mean a new stem is needed or so you have an one-piece stem/aerobar front setup? Stems are cheap and getting the front end where you want/needed is the first priority. As for race wheels, purchase a cover (wheelbuilders.com ) for the rear wheel and the money saved will pay for several race entry fees. Look for a used front wheel for additional savings.
Many choices for powermeters but remember you need a head unit (Garmin? ) to read what is being produced.
Good luck.
