I've been trying to make my bike lighter but doesn't really seem to really work out well.
What can I do to lighten this bike of mine without breaking the bank?!!?
I weigh in at 200lbs and one thing i'm sure is that I can't really sacrifice weight for durability here..
Kind weight weenie souls out there.. do help..
This is my bike setup.

Spokes: DT competition
Hubs: Chris King Classic
Skewers: Hope steel skewers
