Strip your paint, ride chainless, take your sprocket out, take a few spokes out of each wheel,take the seat off, cut the middle bar off of your handlebars, take all wheel barrings out, and if you want to be even lighter, ride your bike naked...


Seriously, why's it matter that much to have lose a few grams?

Take your wheels off, you don't really need them.

Sell your bike, Buy a KHE.

If you have no money, do a diet.

dont run a seat/post
put a slit in your seattube
lighter chain
no grips, just gloves
hollow ti spindle/axles
ti spokes
rhyno lite rims
8t driver
drill some holes in your fork dropouts
use worn down tires
no valve caps
sand off all the paint on everything

if you've done all of the above you are a crazy weight weenie. and should gain some muscle.
