Are you approaching it WW style ?
(ie, lightest equipment balanced with capacity, durability) ?

Creativity - where? My gripe is that there is hardly any creativity happening anymore - that is what is missing now - members being creative. Whether it be to achieve less weight or even an aero or retro bike that is carefully considered and unique due to the efforts of the owner. Kudos to those few who keep the flame alive by undertaking unique projects - whether it be a custom frame or a carefully built bike that cannot be simply rolled out of a standard bike shop.
