* (Check) Swap pedals with lighter ones. 50 gr. It has also the added benefit of lightening up your wallet.
* Shave all those ridiculous hair off your head. 10 to 500 gr, again depending on how hairy you are.
* Your newly tarted-up bald head will surely have better aero than that silly helmet. Get rid of it (no just the helmet). Better both in terms of grams and aero.
* And what are all those base layers and shorts and socks and gloves and shoes and all... They're for quiche eaters. HTFU and wear just an optional Speedo and have done with it. Lighter and sexier, though hopefully no one will notice it.
* And thinking of those lousy heavy tires... don't bare rims have less rolling resistance than that of tires? Both lighter and better rolling resistance. Don't worry about bumps and bends, as it's rather easy nowadays to find a jet runway. It has the added benefit of relatively lower traffic.

Please don't judge by singular savings, look at the big picture. :tongueincheek:
