Cheapest way is to buy a Scott Scale RC

damn weight weenies!

Have a pee and a poo before each ride, you should be sub 10 then.

My Scale RC is still at over 10.

Best weight savings will be on wheelset and tires.

Upgrade the cockpit(considering you left this standard) and lighter tyres although the Schwalble on it is already really lite. Better wheelset although I really rate the DT Swiss wheelset on there, maybe grips as well

[VeloRacer]

Get a pair of ZTR wheels

RC is nie soveel ligter nie maar wel baie duurder

Ek het self die Scott Scale , jy kan baie lig gaan maar wees maar versigtig met daai bande daarop, dis great vir grondpaaie maar vir Karoo grond en plantasie stompe is hulle nie great nie

Ek het alreeds agter verander na die Maxi Icon toe , miskien bietjie swaarder maar soveel meer betroubaar

Ek wonder hoev sal jy spaar as jy jou seatpost, stem en handle bar vervang na ligter en beter komponente

An S-works frame?

Depends on how much money you want to throw at a R28k bike. For a mere R8k more you can get Crests (of AC's), carbon bars, Momsen post and Superlogic stem.

Why? You're just going to be sacrificing reliability for no real riding gain... Ultimately wheels and tyres are going to be the best/cheapest place to go for the biggest saving and then the bar/stem/seatpost could probably give you a few grams (of course keeping in mind the massive performance advantage a lightweight seatpost gives you!). I've done the sub 10kg hardtail and I ride faster on my 11kg dual susser over longer courses...

How about losing the weight,or getting fitter,stronger and smarter?Reliability first.Nothing more annoying than looking at the classifieds,only for some spark wanting to know the weight of the item/bike.

this losing weight story is also tjol. a lighter bike handles better on technical stuff, whether you are fat or not, but agree stupid when you start compromising reliability
