Your frame is steel, mine is alloy.
Your seatpost is metal, mine carbon
Your bars are metal, mine carbon.
Your cranks are metal, mine hollow carbon
Your fork is metal, mine is carbon.
I am planning to change my seat (light selle italia), derailleur and cassette (dura-ace) which will save about 200 grams, but would still be 500g off your full metal bike. And we have the same rims, but I have far lighter tyres and I bet tubes. Even my levers are carbon, my cables jagwire and all qr ridea. Not seeing my mine is heavier, every single part seems lighter ;(
The picture I put are not showing its lightest status.
Of course there are many carbon and titanium parts equipped, and some customized stuff.
I know a guy here could manage to lower the weight of a SPEED to nearly 7kg. He even make cutouts on the frame!
And if you want a superlight bike, MU is not the first choice. Its frame is really heavy, probably heavier than the steel SPEED.
HELIOS is the lightest DAHON frame I have ever had. You should consider it.
BTW, maybe I shouldn't tell you this: I always make my bikes lighter and lighter, but the weight of my body has increased a lot!!!!
