This is a great chart and has helped me wrapped my head around the issue of "is it me or my frame geometry?" in my quest to raise my average speed. I've been looking to get another 1.5 - 2 mph over the course of 10 hours out of my hybrid bike by changing various components, and you have convinced me that I'm probably ready to move to more of a road configuration.
