wow, thats a real nice bike ya got there

wheels, stem, cranks from what i can see. and i assume you don't want to change your codes, but they are a bit heavy if you are that desperate to drop a few.

I'm going to state the obvious about the wheel set... but Mavic 721's with Hope Pro 2 hubs

A set of syncros ds 28 s would be light and strong!

Bars and stem will save maybe 100grams.. I'd look at building some new wheels first. I'd go with either Mavic 721s or Sun-Ringle MTXs on hope hubs.

Holy ballsack. New wheels. That bike would be sooooo f*cking awesome if it didn't have an S-Type and a Doubletrack.

Go for hope pro 2's laced to mavic 721's, light, strong, and not outrageously expensive.

get a carbon post, some 721, hollow link chain and different bar/stem also some carbon spacers (on the fork steerer tube) also, get some juicy 7's lighter than codes

I'd get some Mavic 721's. Lace that shit up to some hope pro 2's.

Also make sure you use alloy nipples with either sapim cx-ray spokes or dt revolution spokes.

I personally like hope pro 2 hubs spun up to some mavic 721's. This is just my personal setup though, some people think it's a little heavy and not strong enough for freeride.
