Anyway, in another thread there arose the question how much weight you trimmed of your bike and if it was possible to get rid of 3lbs so get it to 15lbs.

Thats what my scale says about Carryme parts (and some expensive ideas):

              Total =964 g ~ 2,1lbs

              some weight loss if one files away the to rear brake cable holders, polishes frame, changes screws to ti or carbon, probably bb, stem and headset are candidates.
              More difficult:cranks (160mm and 4 arms) and the axles?
              no chance to save weight in wheels, chain, chainwheel.
              Sounds like you have access to an accurate scale.. have you weighed your new CarryMe in its 'ready to ride' state ?
