Not so sure on that.
Take the Scott Foil as example; incredibly aero frame but is savagely rigid with a aero seatpost that isn't forgiving in the slightest. Even with your choice of saddle, bars and a pair of shallow rims running 3 cross spokes it will still be a harsh ride on the rutted Tarmac of UK B roads.
Compare that to a Cannondale SuperSix Evo; a non aero frame which runs a 27.2 post and has delicate seatstays.
I know which I'd rather ride at the weekend.
