The main things holding back change are economics and sporting regulations. If there was a cheaper way to join all the bits of bike together in the desired arrangement and with adequate stiffness and strength, somebody would be doing it and making a killing. If there was a way of doing it which made cyclists faster, the UCI would ban it :-)
