To carry an extra couple of kilos of cargo 😉

Because every little helps. I've built mine with mostly heavy parts but a few components are quite light and I've been debating whether it's worth losing a kilo by replacing some parts.
Climbing can be tiring when loaded,
and shaving some weight off might not be very noticeable but it'll make a difference. -
Some people like tinkering I guess. Also, for some people (me included) this is their daily / commuter first and foremost (as in not carrying stuff most of the time), and a lighter bike can potentially be more enjoyable to ride in that respect.

What's the deal with weight-weenie cargo builds? Just 'cuz?
