Bikes: Surly LHT, Trek 2100, Trek 7000 (1995 or so) Trek 7000

Since I don't want to have my new Surly LHT stolen Ii will add a good lock and cable, but I will go through all of my loaded gear to remove the 1 1/2 lbs it will weigh. My thinking is that touring is a matter of balancing priorities, and trading off gear for weight. So, what goes and what stays? I have recently moved to a lighter tent and cooking setup so that created some savings. Clothing is the current target for reduction. My best suggestion may be that I can take off 1 1/2 lbs from my body and then the lock is "free weight". Ta da!
