Check mine out and that's how you can make it light.
EDIT: Why do you have a chain tensioner like that...get a regular one, you have horizontal drop outs.

Tires, tubes, wheels, and unnecesary weight like extra long seatpost and very long bar, as well as your chain device. Also brake if you have the front still on unless you like the front.

Well a new wheel set the stock ones are heavy and weak. Maybe some new cranks also.
It would be good to know the weight your currently at..
