I agree with njee20. Try foam grips, lighter stem, post (KCNC), bars, non-UST tyres, alu chainring bolts, lighter chainring(?), lighter chain(?), seatpost clamp(?). Plenty of places to save weight before heading for rotor bolts!

Combine the brake disc / rotor and the rear sprocket (single speed)
something like a combination of this
