Of course, but you can see a lot of the build items I've already included aren't the best weight for the money and there's £200 left in the budget.
Half a kilo off the forks should be easy, the bars, stem and post could be lighter at the same price for some eBaying effort, and I'd choose an External BB for my build.
My polo bike is 8.75kg, starting with a 2kg steel frame. I've previously guestimated all the other parts to cost be about £500 to replace if they were stolen, so on a cheap pomp, you've got £200 to add another brake and lose a kilo.
