well, let's see. i really love all the components (i picked everything except the wheelset), but i've got to lighten up.

Blur frame- Medium
Front Fork- F80X
Thomson stem and seatpost
Avid Mech disc brakes
SRAM X9 triggers/rear der
Race Face Evolve XC cranks
XT Front Der
Easton EC90 bars
Salsa grips

Here's what I'm lightening up:

Mavic 317-Disc with XT hubs ---> GOING TO SWITCH OUT TO SOMETHING LIGHTER
Saddle- San Marco Arami ---> GOING TO SWITCH OUT TO SOMETHING LIGHTER
Tires- Panaracer Fire XC Pro --> GOING TO PYTHON AIRLIGHTS
Pedals- Time ATAC Alium ---> GOING TO TIME ATAC XS CARBON
Cassette- SRAM sometihng ---> GOING TO XTR

That's all I can think of to lighten up, affordably. See anything that jumps out at you? Any other ideas?
