The double triangle frame design has been around for some time, largely unchanged. Alternative designs have come, and most have gone. Some, like the recumbent have a very loyal following, but the double triangle is still the most popular.
In recent years the various frame materials have been used, mechanical gearing has been joined by electronic and brakes have gone from dragging your feet, friction on the tyre, clamp the rim to mechanical and hydraulic discs.
Im sure that in time all these new technologies will be improved on, and hopefully prices will come down, but as it stands now are we close to the point where we are getting close to the pinnacle of what cycles will ever be?
