You can shave weight pretty much anywhere on your current build, but not many of the things you can do will be good value in weightweenie terms. SRAM Red isn't actually worth the extra over Force unless you've already tackled all the big weight loss items, i.e. frame and wheels. If you want to make it lighter/faster for sunny Sundays without compromising its daily driver qualities, get some 'best' wheels, as you can quickly swap them in for nice days, and you can use nice tyres on your best wheels without worrying about £30 tyres that only last 1000 miles on your commute.
