Ok so after riding my Pinscher (Setup for DJ) and then having my jumps torn down by the city, I have decided to build up a street rig instead (I ride street/park more now). So at first I wanted a BMX but then I thought it was too small, then I thought of something like a Sub but I love Dobermann so I have decided on the Molosse. My planned build is below. Stuff in bold is what I still need and stuff in Italics is what I have...

Specs:
Frame: Dobermann Molosse 24" Specific w/ no brake mounts/tabs-------Neon Yellow or Indian Turquoise
Fork: Dobermann Tchokr 24" specific/Fox 32 Float lowered to 70mm-----Neon Yellow or Indian Turquoise
Headset: FSA (Black)
Stem: Eastern Deceptikon (Black)
Bars: Dobermann Guidoune (Black)
Grips: Gusset (Black)
Cranks: Odyessy Twombolt (Black)
BB: Eastern (Black)
Sprocket: Eclat TILT 25T (Black)
Pedals: Odyessy Twisted PC (Clear)
Chain: KMC 710SL (Black)
Seat Post: Macneil (Grinded to slam) (Black)
Seat: Macneil SL Pivotal (Black)

Rear Wheel:
Rim: Alienation Runaway (Black)
Hub: Eclat Teck 10T (Black)
Spokes: Something Strong (Black)
Tire: KHE Mac 2

Front Wheel:
Rim: Alienation Runaway (Black)
Hub: Odyessy Vandero (Black)
Spokes: Something Strong (Black)
Tire: KHE Mac 2

So that is my build, please give me suggestions on how to make it lighter/what are better parts. Also I am not going for a crazy light build, just somewhere around 23-26 pounds is fine (25 is ideal).

Also, I am still trying to decide on the colours for my Frame and Fork. The two colours I have chosen are:

Neon Yellow:
<Photo does not exist: 3615487>

Or Indian Turquoise (same colour as Xavier Cloutiers bike)

As far as the color scheme I would definatly go with the bright yellow.
And for parts it looks pretty good,if your going for weight I would get the eclat pc seat and post combo.

Yeah but then I have to run a shim... and I hate shims...

EDIT: But if you convince me on a good/very light shim then I might...

Be forewarned, the Eclat seat/post combo looks really small on a non-BMX. My buddy has one on his TOP and it looks kinda silly. Not trying to ish-talk the weight savings, I just try to be honest. Cheers.

Edit: Can't wait to see it built!!

Yeah, thats what I am thinking too. Might just stick with the Macneil (Know any other lighter Pivotal seats than the Macneil SL?)

I like the Colony and the Federal. Kink Belt is also legit.

My fedaral is nice, I completely drilled out all the plastic under it, took out the metal rod in the middle, and stripped it. and I'm pretty sure its lighter then my dads carbon fiber road race seat. and its also still pretty sturdy. But you can't really take that metal rod out without stripping it and you honnestly don't need that rod thing.
