I'd like to upgrade the running gear, but its almost worth getting a whole new bike.

I hate my expensive hobbies..performance cars , exotic bikes...damn it.
That is a damn good price, just the Dura Ace mechanical groups would cost $1800 on line.

Fondriest are a very nice frame, probably Taiwanese made now at that price point but everything at that level is and the quality now is excellent. European manufactured frames are very rare now, even from European manufacturers such as Eddy Merckx, Colnago and Bianchi etc on anything but their top end frames so don't be put off by that.
