I was surprised.
Since then, I replaced the tires with thin high pressure tires (Schwalbe Stelvios) and the saddle with a lighter racing saddle. I added some weight by putting on a longer stem. It now weighs 23.5 pounds.
Jur,
How did you get it down to 19 pounds? Where was the extra weight?
Thin tires don't save as much weight on small wheels because even the fat ones are pretty light. For example, switching from marathon racers to stelvios on a 700c bike saves a pound while on a 20" bike it only saves 2/3 of a pound.
You'd probably get the most bang for your buck buying an ultralight seatpost. Ditching some spokes is also probably a good idea because smaller wheels don't need as many. After that I think jur just threw money at the rest of the components.
