I've been making some changes to the Langster since I started my new job, not becoming a weight weenie build as I need it to be suitable for daily commuting. Out of curiosity I'm looking to see how light it could be without spending a fortune, recently added a Arione/Thompson combo and swapped for some lighter folding tyres. Also made the swap to road pedals, fitted some of the new 105's by Shimano. It weighed roughly 8.2kg prior to the recent additions, it's probably near the 7.5kg mark now. Looking to swap out the fork at some point as it appears to be the Achilles heel of the Langster/Allez, it's quite heavy.
