In the UK they come as SS with 2 brakes and without the coaster brake.
The weight savings came from everywhere actually but the largest savings were from the cranks/bb/chainguard which made up 800g, the saddle/seatpost which made another 450 and the rear hub/driver/freewheeel mechanism that made another 200g. Grips went from 180g to 20g for £12 which is the best £1>g ratio there was.
I could lose another 200g in tires if I was that way inclined but wont as these tires are tough as old boots.
