yeah i thought a lot about that. Loosing the brooks could save a few hundred grams and i have heavy puncture proof 28mm tyres on there as well. Replacing those and swapping out the cheap alloy bars and seatpost for carbon would probably do it. But them i'm loosing all that comfort for the sake of 700 grams.
Might as well just go easy on the donor kebabs instead and shave a few kgs off the waistline. Or buy the ti version of the frameset for the ridiculously priced £1800.
my custom croix de fer build with 105 (rs685 hydros), a heavy brooks swift and some great kinesis cross light wheels (1.6kg) @£239, and heavyish tyres comes in at 10.7kg
