With LX cranks it looks like this. What a difference it will make. Or not...
I guess I am crazy after all.
Substituting the old black Ritchey tires and the LX cranks with Panaracer Smoke and Dart tires and an XT crank saved 610 grams. Going from 12,18 kg to 11,57. Still got some potential with inner tubes and pedals... Guess I could get close to 11 kg. But as I have way too many kilos myself... I guess I will start there.

After:
Tan wall tires rules... NOS XT cranks not too shabby either. Satisfied!
