I just bought a preloved entry level Bike Friday. Very excited - it's not here for 2 weeks. I'm only in the US for 2 weeks after that and I want to get some extra bits and pieces because it will be much easier and cheaper than in New Zealand. I need a saddle, pedals, some fast and light tires, spare tubes, some extra bar tape. What else?

Here are the specs. I am going to try to lighten it up a bit without spending too much extra cash. I put a post on the weight weenies board about this, but I wanted to post here too as I got a lot of help with the initial decision of what to buy on the touring forum.

They are replacing the QRs with bolts for weight saving and easier locking. It's a NWT Pocket Sport 24. Are there any mods people suggest I make based on the specs below. Since it is preloved, I wasn't able to make any mods to what is already on the bike. I'm 115lbs.
