80 watts improvement is "largely" due to the frame. OK folks. Dr. Coggan said that, not me.
Yes, I did. I'd break it all down for you, but it would be a waste of time since you'd apparently have felt quite at home in the White House in the first week after Hurricane Katrina. ;-)
I am amazed that you would find my claim that it is possible to increase power about 80 watts (40% of 200) in one season by training differently so "outlandish" when you claim the same improvement can come about largely by simply changing the frame. :-)
Apparently you've failed to absorb the "take home" message of this article by my friends Asker and Jim:

essentially the same time..." and "...
largely due to...". IOW, I did not make the claim that a P3C would allow someone to ride
exactly the same 3 km time as on a P2T while producing
exactly 80 fewer watts.)
