thought we weren't doing phrasing anymore...
@TooTallTim just how tall (heavy?) are you?
My worry with things like special skewers is that they become more fragile.
If you're close to 90kg I'd be keen to hear what stuff you're using.
Saddle is around 165g - that is fairly light already, no?
Haven't weighed other parts but suspect the cannondale post is a bit portly for sure.
edit: just realised I had my turbo trainer QR in when I weighed it. That must be fairly heavy, comparatively.

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.
