Wheels, A2z hubs with DT Revolution spokes and top of the range DT Rim (white), should put you at 1400gr or less for the wheels... I've got a v-brake set except with American C hubs, DT Rev spokes and ZTR 355 rims which weigh 1350gr

Thing is that you are pi$$ing into the wind. All you need to do is throw cash at it and you can have the lightest bike in the world - but you would have to sell what you have now and start with a new frame?

 

Have you looked at replacing some of the steel stuff with titanium? Is there any steel stuff on the bike still?

XTC OKE if I am correct you must be about 15 or 16 years old.  Stop dreaming about how you are going to spend your dad's money; rather go and ride your bike more.  It is a very light and nice already.  That is the best way for a youngster to get quicker.  You will enjoy it even more when you win the guys with lighter / more expensive bikes than yours.

If this is true it really is sad... ike borrowing a fancy car and pretending it is yours, just so you can impress people girls... taking posing to a whole new level

Dont stress XTC. This is what younger okes do - it makes life more interesting. It draws old farts like me into the discussion which has lasted 5 pages?

 

If you want the lightest bike in SA - thats fine. As long as you pay for the bits LOL

That is your story, stick to it. My opinion remains unchanged.  Lighten up.
