About the only thing original on Stan's Super Sport is the frame and fork. Crankset, derailleurs, wheels, freewheel or cassette, seat post, handle bars, brake calipers, integrated brake/shift levers, saddle, and stem are all upgrades. Even the seat post collar has been changed out. An upgrade to this extent would be very costly unless you are extremely resourceful.

Stan cut about nine pounds off that bike, which is quite an accomplishment.

Wheels and crankset are a good place to start on weight reduction, just those two alone will cost a fair amount.
