Er yes, check out epic win, unconditional love for people, offroad etc etc.
Do you ever use your brain?

Pretty much anything you change on there is going to compromise performance, probably best to accept that your bike is for riding, not weighing.
Having said that,
Tektro brakes for £110 will drop ~70g and work as well as Ultegra
Pick a stem from Ritchey WCS, Pro Vibe 7S (my favourite), Syntace F119 to drop ca. 50g
CS-7900 12-27 for £122.50 here, weight saving is significant with those big cogs at the bottom end.Less than 200g saved for your £300 outlay, but without compromising on performance and reliability.

if you powdercoat it all you will have left is a leader
what sort of fuckwittery is this?
Where in any post have I mentioned powdercoating it?
and not to mention the fact thats utter nonsense.The leaders are made with tonnes of problems involving lack of precision(though this may now be fixed, the problems of old are good enough reason for me to never buy one) in a factory out East asia way, out of shit taken from old pans (well not really but whatever). This is made in Italy of decent deda tubing.

I'm not a Londoner :-( its a place called action 21(google it), its in a big wear house type place, 2 floors, the place is huge!
we have 100s of bike and slowly restore, repair, rebuild and recycle them
I keep meaning to head to Action 21. I'm only up the road - North side of Leamington.

Seat clamp and headset adjuster?
Vittoria Diamante Pro Lights are lighter, cheaper and harder wearing than Open Corsa CX, an under-appreciated tyre for the weight weenie on a budget. Rolling resistance in the AFM tests is 13.5 vs. 12.3 for the Open Corsa, but still better than either Conti GP4000S or Schwalbe Ultremo.

protip: don't listen to fuckwits on the internet
hehe, here i was living in world where motherfuckers didn't have enough money to buy fucking anodized components then take 'em down ole armourtex to colour coordinate their fixies, fuckhead.
as a challenge to make me look like a dick, show me some new powdercoated cranks and/or rims that aren't obscure as shit. go go go.

My early 80`s Shogun w ST-tubing,SR parts and wheels from SJS.
will be a nice cafècycle in the spring i hope
Came in yesterday, my next workhorse an Crescent 307 1984,
will be unpainted,SS and ????
It is replacing my blue german and my white Nishki
[INDENT][/INDENT]
Love the look of the shogun.
What caliper is that?
Looks fairly long drop to me.
I'm after a Damn long drop for my current project. -
Not obscure and in fact a good idea. Saves a lot of weight compared to a lot of other steel armed cranks and there is a lot of weight to be saved!
+1, got them on my Azonic, about 400g lighter than 4130 CrMo cranks of the same strength.

Looks really nice. I'm not sure its worth upgrading any of it.
Gossamer bars are fairly light TBH, if you spend quite a lot on some carbon bars you may save 90g.
Ultegra brakes are'nt exactly overweight, but you can definitly save some here. I'm looking to get some Negative GSL's. I just need them to come up cheapish on EBay. Would save you 125g, and work really well (esp for ww calipers).
The arione is'nt light, but if its comfy, its difficult to recommend replacing it. Proper weight weenie saddles need to fit exactly to work, as they have little padding to smooth over any miss matchings. I'm going with a 135g ti railed SLR. 90g saved, but if it dosent fit......
Getting some Nokon brake and gear cables could save over 100g.
Could get a Heylight seatpost for about 95 Euro and save around 100g or more.
Swapping out the stem for a Ritchey WCS 4 axis could save 50g.
If you did all that you'd save 550g, and that doesnt include the lightening of your wallet. Some are worth it, but most are for those desperate to squeese a few extra grams off their bike, regardless of cost. Like I said, your bike looks great already (IMHO) on paper.
I think those three would take off around 250g, without compromising performance?

If you're allowing any paint process, Mavic Deemax rims and any Truvativ crank with the piano black finish, e.g. Omnium.

Bars maybe, saddle might work but there's no guarantee that the carbon one will suit his arse as well as the standard Arione, and SRAM Red cassette doesn't shift as well as Shimano, and is not available in 12-27. Could always go compact with an 11-25 and reduce both chainrings to keep his top and bottom gears the same, but that could get expensive as the carbon cranks don't have the swappable spider.

They will compromise your wallet some. But they're pretty solid components. Not convinced by that saddle though.
