I want to make it lighter because i use it solely for fitness, so i tried to find online some info about the weight of some parts but couldnt find anything.
Anyone know the weight for the frame?
Also i intend to replace the handlebar (original is hi-tensile steel), stem and seat post.
On their website they say that stem and seatpost is Giant Sport but no other info so i'm wondering how much do these weight because i intend to upgrade to lighter parts.
Thank you in advance

This may not be worth doing, because of the cost. Also the main saving of weight would be to change the frame and wheels.
Ironically, in some way, you may become fitter riding a heavier bike like the Escape 3.
