This comes up alot. But there's no specific thread that I am aware of. Just separate threads for each component.
The biggest savings are to be had on the wheels.
Do you run rim brakes?
Do you want clincher/tubs?
How much do you weigh?
Some uber lightweight rims, laced with the appropriate amount of CX-rays (or even revolutions if youre quite light), to a lightish track rear hub, and a weight weenie front road hub.
New ultimate stem,
extralite seatpost,
Modified lightweight road cranks.
saddle will depend on your botty shape, but no more tha 150g.
Chop some lightweigh drops into bullhorns.
Latex innertubes, and the lightest tyres you dare run.
lightweight MTN pedals.
Basically the more money you spend the lighter you can go. Always considering your, weight, and how you intend to use the bike. As track componentry rarely comes in a weight weenie format. Look to used modified road parts as much as possible.
