I come from a family of waste not, want not, and I'm seriously not trying to piss on your parade skunkwork, but if I'm going to shell out big money on components then I want to get as much use out of them as possible, and for them to be as long lasting and durable as possible. Which is why fantasizing about making a bike as light as possible isn't high on my list of things to achieve.
Good luck with the lightweight thoughts, and heed furry's advice he knows of what he speaks.
