ITT: people with too much time on their hands over-complicate things
It's a fucking bike, you pedal, it goes forward. I'm with OP on this one, small gains in performance are crucial thing in sports. The 40-year old engineer on his weekend ride isn't doing Tour de France except maybe in his head. If somebody wants to spend loads of money on a good carbon bike them do that by all means but keep that shit in that niche and develope more practical frame materials for people who just want a bike.
