New cranks, cut the seatpost, new bars, new stem, ligher tubes or tubeless, lighter tires, new wheels.

Whatever you want.

singletracks are pretty light rims actually, i dont think atomlabs would be any lighter. Yeah the dj forks weigh a ton, change em to wither argyles or society xeno's. Also yeh cut seatpost and new bar and stem, and maybe seat.

well start off with rotating parts because you will notice them the most.. tabletops (very light and great for street and dirt) then inners then rims (pimplites) then hubs (pro 2) then forks could be lighter (argyle) new bar and stem (eastern) front break off, lighter seat and seat post (mcneil combo), cranks (worrmbolts with ti spindle) and also chain many people forget about it but you can lose lots of weight in the chain. lol these are obviously suggestions if you are willing to spend some real cash

El Gallo is a generic brand, their pedals are actually the same as guesset slim jims etc, and they arent realy that light.

well actually 2006 was the best year for the dj series, and thats a dj2. Its only close to 5.6 pounds. Not much heavier then an argyle 318.
