Brakes are compulsory in Berlin and not worth the fine/bike confiscation just to feel cool and have a slightly cleaner looking bike.
If running a front brake my weight weenie part choices from here would be Chinese 20mm tub rims on mack low flange rear track hubs and mack front super light road hub with some light spokes, that'd be just a smidgen over 1kg for the wheelset, then a Chinese full carbon fork around 350g, speedplay pedals light as fuck. Also rotor track cranks are damn light, even though Eingang mentioned he's not going 3/32 I'd do this if I had a brake and drop several hundred grams there too.
