Random aside since weight comes up fairly often.

I couldn't find a black seatpost that wasn't some ridiculous length. I could shave off a decent chunk of weight by getting rid of some seatpost length. The ones that were shorter were much much heavier though. I guess it's just an odd trade off.

The brakes aren't exactly the lightest pieces ever. That added to their dull gray finish makes me want to spring for something else.

One could easily loose a few grams by removing the tire savers, the toe clip leathers and using a less bulky strip clap.

With all those attached to it though... the bike still comes in at 21.4 lbs. It's a 61cm frame btw.
For a comparison... my bosses Colnago Bititanio which is around a 56cm frame and sports 10 sp Dura Ace is right at 22 lbs. These weren't done on the same scale so I'm sure there's some discrepancy but I'm still fairly happy with the weight.

I do wonder if I could get it down closer to 20 lbs. I don't know if switching to dura ace cranks and derailleurs would be enough or if I'd have to do a few more things.
