Depends on your budget but 1x and chinese finishing kit can help keep the weight down. Kalloy stems weigh fuckall and whichever 27.2 carbon post you can find on eBay. Hydro is lighter if you can afford it, if not sypyres dont weigh too much. Sub 9kg all in would be something to aim for. Itll never be a super light build :)

After quite a few years of riding sans gears I'm looking to build up a sensible commuter. Something I can use for my ~10mile daily ride and the occasional gravel/tow path rides. I bought this All City Macho Man from the awesome @yetidamo and now I'm looking to build it up.
I thought the frame would be much heavier than it is. It weighs in at just over 3.5kg with forks and BB. So, I'm thinking to focus on keep it as light as possible so I can easily carry it up to my third floor tenement flat and ride up the hills of sunny Glasgow like a sweet summer breeze.
I don't have much of a clue about components (esp lightweight) so any advice is appreciated.
