52/36 with 11/28
I experimented with latex once but both tubes exploded after sitting in my (unridden) bike for 2 hours.
Will look into stem and seatpost, though I think I will buy a legit light seatpost (budget allowing) as a catastrophic failure of seatpost is really low of my list of things I want to risk to save money.

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.
