If you want an aero frame bike for road riding, Cervelo makes them http://www.cervelo.com/en/bikes/s-series.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The TT bike riding position is fairly aero by default, if you fitted drop bars, attempting to ride in the drops would cause you long term chronic injury, IMO.
Also, I think TT bike geometry /position is not suited to general road riding.
