I say save up for another bike.
Technically the cheapest method is to do nothing and work on the engine.
The second cheapest would be to convert it to a SS or FG.
The third cheapest would be to purchase a hybrid or MTB of some sort.
I suppose you could upgrade and upgrade but at the level you are looking to go a new bike makes more sense then to spend $500+ to lighten up by 4 lbs.
However, if it was a $3000 bike and spending $500 to loose a pound the response would be different. Go figure...
