It is fun. Some of that stuff is so well made and so shockingly light I don't want to put it on the bike. The GELU seat < 50g sat on my desk for a month. The mailman got to hold it as well as every other person that came by. Each of them cracked a grin when they picked it up.

The Extralite (brand) stuff amazes me. They are machining wizards (I've been around CNC shops since the 80s - my job)
. Same with RECON one piece cassettes. I have some of that stuff in my car and can instantly get conversations going with all levels just saying - "want to hold something cool?".

So WW stuff is arguably not worth it in the go fast department, but it has value. And I use it for that. It never needs to make it to the bike.
