And if you upgrade your frame to this, you'll totally knock off like 4.5lbs!!!

EDIT: Define better. Drilling holes in your bike will make your bike lighter, but not necessarily better.

Shop around and reaserch stuff.
Example:
A McNeil Pivitol seat/post combo will cut near a pound off your bike.
Getting a set of lighter rims(not hubs unless you have the money) to something like Hazard LT's or Primo Balance will drop more weight.
Changeing from Haro bars to Ody, Sunday and other bars(like the new S&M Slam XLTs...only 1.6lbs) will cut weight...nearly 1.5lbs in some cases.

Become a better rider, and you won't need a lighter bike. If your bike was 10 pounds lighter, there would still be someone out there that can ride better than you on a bike 10 pounds heavier.

Mirra was the Park king(and he isn't bad on street), but now we got guys blowing up...like Edwin on street. And look at Bruce Chrisman (brakeless and freecoaster)...insane.
On any given day anyone can be the best. Just depends on who watches it and judges it.

That boy was cut down in front of his friends.
