Leaving the potential hick ups aside for now.
The whole bike is advertised by Dahon as 9.9kg. Since I don't have the cranks, handlebars and wheels I can't do any comparison there and I guess I'll need to wait until I am done building to have a total of saved weight but here are some first numbers:
Stock seatpost + saddle 1135gr vs china carbon post + Fizik Alliante VS 476gr = 659gr saved
China carbon handlebars 114gr uncut
Stock forks 433gr vs china carbon forks 339gr uncut = 94gr saved (so far)
Taking kickstand off = 205gr saved
= Already 958gr saved
Not that bad for the beginning.
The wheel set is ordered and the current weight projection is about 1.4kg for the set.
Additionally I got a Sugino Pista crankset 48T, some cheap lock on grips and a BLB 13t cog.
