Acliff’s all element stable - Carbon, Titanium, Aluminium, Steel

I’ll consider getting the 25mm when the rear wears out, or becomes a pin cushion!

Planning to purchase the following:

3T ergonova ltd 38cm bars - ~170g
Challenge latex tubes ~60g each
For approx. 100g saving.

Don’t want to change the saddle for the time being as it’s my current turbo bike, but will probably buy a carbon saddle once I’ve done all the other weenie things (trim everything to the limit)

Planning to keep this for motivation, worth the extra grams!

Anyone got one of these lying around? (in 40T)

Got one of these 145g seatposts on the way, to pair with a rugged Selle Italia SLR at 125g

Should be able to chop the seatpost down to 100g, and strip the SLR to 100g to save about 100g total.

With the bars and tube change I should hit 6kg.

Procured a set of Planet X CNC brakes at 201g, the weight saving continues!

At least you aren't planning on actually braking?

I've got a 44t lying around.

Pmed!

Don’t need to brake on on the turbo or uphill.

At least until I stump up for some ee brakes!

• Remove FD and cables, and replace shifter with a lightweight brake lever (Sram 900 carbon TT lever?)
  
• Shorten chain as you won’t have a ‘big’ ring.
  
• Chop handlebar drops.
  

I have s900s on my fixie, was considering taking out the shifting mech on the left shifter.

A bit hesitant in chopping bars, might go like @dbr and have bullhorns.

What is the weight of mountain bike style trigger shifters?

If you have money to spend, for £50 the hylix bullhorns are 155g. These levers - https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-levers-other/?brand=jtek+engineering are £40 each but an eye watering 32g.
You could then put a bar end shifter in one end due to the way the levers clamp onto the bar - that is if the bullhorns have 22.2mm ends..?

For my build I've gone for Chinese carbon bulls/s900 levers and a single down tube shifter, which is fairly light.

Fitted ergonova team stealth, 193g, as I’d forgotten to buy the limited version.... like the shape better than the Ritchey carbon evocurve that was on before (245g)

Planet X brakes seem to brake ok

6105g, still waiting for tubes and seatpost!

So after some late night ebaying, things escalated quickly...

Aerozine seat clamp, lose the cage bolts, lose the top cap. Might get you to 5.6
Have you got ti pedal axles and plates?

Got Ti speedplays already.

Tasks left:

Removing spacers, cutting steerer tube down

Install 44t 1x chainring and remove FD and cables, left shifter lever.

Shorten chain, add Lizardskin 1.8mm tape, remove cage bolts and replace with plugs, trim cables

Now hoping to get it to 5.5kg.

Have you drilled anything yet though. you've still got drops?

Yum. Thank you @Jaap

Not yet committed enough to chop 1 week old carbon bars.
I've still got the leather on the SLR for the moment, which I appreciate is unacceptable.

Seatpost has been cut down to an almost dangerously short length and the clamping mechanism is flakey at best, but 99g.

Firstly doing the changes that saves grams in multiples of 10 first, before I start with the single digit savings (seatpost clamps, etc)

Will probably change to a bullhorn type arrangement at a later stage when I convert to 1x

Dont strip the SLR, jsut get a cheap full carbon saddle from eBay , normally around 100g.

This. I got one for £15 although it was a whole 114g rather than the advertised 110g. Welcome to buy it off me!

I have a sub 100g one that I drilled for the National HC 2015 (#pedigree) with a slight rail issue that i'll donate if it's wanted.

I think I have a SMP copy you can have for P&P

Under 5.5kg
