If you're saying the frame is (pretty much) last on the list of changes you can easily make. I agree.
I just wanted to add that Fred Average benefits from aero gains more than a powerful rider. The buying public still haven't completely got their heads round this I think, but eventually they will.
I disagree about 'losing by a wheel' being the only time gains make sense. Sometimes aims are more humble, but the margins are the same.
Engineers will keep making aero frames and the weight and comfort penalties of those frames will vanish and we'll all go 0.16kph faster :)
