Like mattm, I think I may have started to reach the end too. I don't think there's much I could change to my race bike to make it any faster, except to improve the engine. That doesn't mean I would turn down a good deal on a new frameset, but it's not a big deal for me.

(Of course that was our thinking too riding the Velodyssey Trail in France, up the west coast ... just keep the Atlantic on the left. But somehow we managed to get lost twice today.

This. The more I ride, the more I realize and know it's all about the engine. Nothing more. Having nice gear is a plus, but it will not make me any faster. The only time this is not true is aero gear for a TT and that's it.
