Latex tubes, kalloy stem, far east seatpost (although 90kg) are cheap fixes. I wouldn't bother beyond that tbh.
Wheels, pricey in comparison but thats where you will lose most weight. Tubs obv. OR Extealite hubs on Kinlin XR200 or American classic ACRD 2218 (wide, tubeless).
Are you riding 53/39 with 11-32? If so 50/34 12-25 would save weight.

Saddle, seatpost, bars and stem swaps could probably trim a good 300g. Latex tubes another 100g. Skewers could be another 80g.
I got my SS HM down to 6.9kg with a very similar parts list (but Di2) without spending very much at all

@gillies
finally got around to weighing my ss evo hm, with an entirely scientific method of standing on scales, weighing myself, then holding the bike and weighing again.
Sitting around 7.6kg atm, which isn't bad. How can I shave a bit more off it?
Supersix Evo Hi mod frame
Zonda wheels (~1500g)
Conti Gp4000ii tyres
conti race tubes
DA9000 chainset
ultegra 6700 group
Ultegra cassette and chain
praxis BB
Spesh Romin carbon railed saddle
Cannondale c2 carbon post (suspect this could be switched out for weight gainz... or losses even)
Ritchey alu WCS streem II bars (likewise, although I don't want carbon bars or stem)
Deda elementi zero100 stem
105 pedals (these could also be switched but unsure what sort of £/kg savings I could make here)
chinese carbon cages
This isn't hugely important as a 6ft 5 90kg rider I'm never going to be super fast up hills. Largely for my own vanity.
That said, i don't think losing too much more fat is viable. I don't really have much to spare on me at the moment.
Thoughts?
