Small rack and guards for day to day use. Together with some solid wheels wearing bullet proof rubber. Then instead of a weekend bike, have a set of race wheels wearing racy rubber under the bed. I'd much rather spend five minutes wiping off my rack and guards to make the bike more racey, than swaping tight fitting tyres anyway.

For weekends, you could have some flashy carbon. But life would be a touch easier if you kept to aluminium braking surfaces.
