Well not much.....I spent way too much time on the WW forums & I think it is fun & it is a talking point but obviously the savings have minimal impact. That being said, what I was able to find googling around....based on what seemed like avg/standard size bikes is the following;
C3 stem = 148g c1 stem 128g
c3 seatpost = 248 c1 seatpost 212g
c3 bars = 325g = c1 bar = 244
Total savings = 148g (almost 1/3rd a LB)
Granted this is not alot of weight but if one was looking to drop weight from something other then wheels I would probably remove that C3 bar first and replace it with something like Zipp SL Carbon Handlebar(170g) which alone is the same weight savings to all the C1 stuff above.
