already. Shimano RS 81 wheelset on and 530 gram lighter bike totally. Haven't changed tires/ tubes yet but will next month and hope to scale of 200 gram +- there because the factory tires are heavy. Thinking reasonable seat post / saddle in addition before I reach retail price which is my limit on this bike but dont know how cost vise that is.
Thanks

A lot of folks are critical of this sort of weight consciousness. To me, it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense in any way other than it's just fun to do this stuff (again, assuming it's affordable). It's just a fun hobby and a healthy activity. If the bike feels more fun, regardless of whether if it's meaningfully faster or just in the mind, it still makes riding more fun and more likely to happen more often. Its like that for me anyway.
