Interesting... I was considering the Zipp aero skewers (~$80) until you mentioned bolt-on skewers (~$10). I'm assuming the bolt-on skewers are more aerodynamic than the Zipp aero skewers, correct? Do you recommend any particular brand of bolt-on skewers?
On the equipment side a skinsuit can be cheap, bolt on skewers are cheap. After that its likely to get more expensive.
Yes, my knees are very wide, I'm aware and work on it. It used to be way worse. When I got a retul fit last year, the guy doing the fitting did a double take the first time he looked at the computer results and had to walk around to get a head on view because he thought something was broken. I personally blame playing hockey as a kid for being a bowlegged. As mentioned, I think I could be comfortable lower, but am currently limited by my aerobar choice, so maybe that is the next biggest impact item.

Using DZ as an example you are still higher up. Also you knees seem wide, although that may not be fixable, still wedges and just paying attention may help. On the equipment side a skinsuit can be cheap, bolt on skewers are cheap. After that its likely to get more expensive.
