That bike doesn't weigh 38lbs. I thought my Fire Eye weighed 33lbs when I weighed it on the bathroom scales, then I double checked using some much better scales I found in the garage and found its actually 26lbs. The quality of the scales really makes a difference lol

Right, now for the useful part. To make it lighter I would suggest lighter tyres, cranks, pedals, tubes, singlespeed, and maybe a lighter brake or no brakes at all. 2 cents
