I am very tempted by the idea of a single speed, light as possible cross bike.
gets my vote. While my Major One is maybe not technically as light as possible it is under 8kg and has nothing expensive on it to get to that weight.
The lower weight helps psychologically more than anything although it is nicer to shoulder when I am climbing over stiles. May not apply if you don't encounter stiles.
