M2Racer saddle - 43 grams
Easton EC90 carbon track drops (weight?)
So....whaddaya got?
I guess you could start with that carbon giant track frame from interbike, but I'm sure a custom carbon frame would be lighter.
we need to set some boundries though... what is the intended purpose of this proposed bike, track or street?
some corners could be cut either way.
