I keep looking at it hoping to find something impractical. Maybe the saddle, but meh. It's good.

The Giant parts must be featherweight. I'm a bit jelous.

The Saddle is a decent one with Ti rails. A solid component.

Different opinions on the effectiveness of those brakes, but other than that it's all good.

Flexy brakes + carbon braking surface = not for me.

Although could easily replace them with something of similar weight but far superior function (at a price).

bmxd. That bar and stem combo is pretty light to be honest. Bars of 190g are common, (although they arent all stiff), as are 105g stems. So for several hundred pounds you could save 45g, while likely loosing stiffness, and definitely loosing the awsome look of the frame-matching stem. Hardly seems worth it. I'd get the calipers out and start measuring up bolts for Ti/Alu replacements. You can also drop weight buy replacing brake and gear cables with Nokon etc. outers and powercordz inners.

Lovely bike.
