It's got Saint cranks, Deity bars, Straitline pedals and Saint brakes, so there's a lot of weight to it really. However, there's still a lot to change. XTR cranks will replace Saint, FSA Gravity carbon bars will replace the Deity bars, Twenty6 Freerunner bedals will replace the Straitline pedals and then it's mostly small changes like latex tubes/tubeless up front.

There's also weight to add with a Gravity Dropper Turbo seatpost.

My holy grail is sub 28 lbs. I'll go to extremes if I so need to in order to meet this target.

The scales don't lie. This isn't some fat overweight DH bike being hung up here, it's a lightweight all mountain bike. Any idiot with a wallet can get an AM bike sub 30.

It's a Specialized Toupe Ti 143, pretty damn comfy. But not strong at all. I broke 2.

Now I've got my Selle Italia SLR Carbonio Flow back on, my arse is happier, my scales are happier and my bike is happier.
