Sure, but I'm unlikely to find any proper aero frames within budget anyway. I'm pretty sure you've said that cheap aero shapes are unlikely to significantly outperform round section steel tubes, and although bamboo will be a bit chunkier, I should be able to adjust the geometry so that I'm more aero than I would be on (for example) an ill fitting pre cursa?
Also I won't be chasing pbs on this frame... It's more for use on the local SC courses. If I go out hunting a time then I'll take the cervelo.

It's the chunkier where your argument collapses. If you want to build a frame which gives you an excellent position (better than forcing yourself onto a too-small OTP track frame, for example) which also has a low frontal area (since that's the best way to get low drag if you can't escape round tubes), steel is the way to go.

It's hard to find bamboo poles in aerofoil sections.
