Sub 26 pound Sortie

Cool!! Can't wait too see the pics.

So, what's the most important part to switch? I usually find a good lightweight, but strong set of wheels (I used to get Cane Creeks, but I guess that part of my life is over...) before I change anything else.

I was just wondering if there's any particularly unduly heavy part on a Sortie. My '08 is sitting at the house till I get home (Baghdad till next April). I haven't even seen it yet! I have a set of brand new Easton XC Ones that I bought for my WCF build....but I think I'm going to go 7 speed on that one, so I'll need different wheels. It's all good though, because the Eastons can go on my Sortie.

A good set of wheels and tires are one of the best ways to lose weight, for sure. I love my Mavic wheels, they are freaking strong and light as hell!! I would also think about little things like pedals, carbon bars, and seatpostto drop some weight and a crankset is also a good place to start.

Lets see those pics!
