to keep your current chain ring and BB just get redline device arms, and a spindle,


for saddles theres lots out there, but you may as well go pivotal for cost : weight ratio

Get a Gusset Integral seat, weighs 2 thirds of f*ck all and is cheaper than buying a separate pivotal seat and post Smile

Run light high pressure tires in the back with a XC ultralight tube, Swap out your crank for a lighter BMX crank. You would have to look up whats available for your BB type .
I run a deity now But I am switching to a fly bikes crank @ 841g's that arms and spindle 187g's add for the BB. a KMC superlight chain. Get lighter pedals. Like PC or metal if you can afford a set of 400g joints. Replace the seat with lighter one and either get a shim to run a BMX 25.4 stolen thermalight post ( made of PC) or just run a combo seat. would come out to like 300g's for that set up. all in all stock parts are super heavy .
