I bet our bars are about the same, then my seatpost is lighter (bontrager CF.) Are you counting the saddle bag?
Including all that XTR, I'm wondering if 1.5lbs for like a grand is really worth it. That's not much weight. lol What do you have into that bike? about $4,000?
That's without the saddlebag.
I can take another 1 lb or 1.5 off with lighter rubber, since those are heavy tires, but I like not getting flats.
I have some Kenda Negeval's (sp) that are like 2lbs each. I had some old Moab sweet rolls (wish I could find more) that were
probably under a 1lb each, they would bring it in around 21lbs, but I wore them out.
I built this off Ebay for about $1400, everything was new except the frame/thomson seat post and CK headset.
I built this one for about $1800 (S-works Stumpjumper with XTR). I have since replaced the fork with a 15mm 140mm FOX RLC
I put tthe one in the picture on my other Kona Kula.
