You should have done as I said at the weekend, whats £1500 anyway ?
Bontrager xxx-lite grips = super cheap and very light
Crank Bros Egg Beaters and a Ti spindle upgrade for about £40 off these guys http://shop.titaniumspindles.com
My pedals are very light (and I am not!)
Fill your tyres with helium.
This weighs 33lb with the Crossmax on the back. I don't see why yours is as heavy as it is. However, you could change the cranks and then brakes and then start looking at thet stem and bars etc. You could also change to lighter wheels but that could be big bucks. However, I doubt any quick wins would be that noticebale
Do you really need a 203 and 185 rotor? I swapped my rear 185 rotor to the front and put a 160mm on the rear, it made little noticeable difference to braking power and would save a little bit of weight
[i]Aye, your I-Beam set up will be a lot lighter when the saddle parts company with the post!
Interesting theory, but no, IMO! [/i]
4 years in, no problems - but then on a HT you spend more time out of the saddle, so probably less likely to damage it.
And the carbon post with the latest FX saddle is very comfy, even on a HT.
There's a huge number of cases of broken I-beam posts, there's a reason they're always heavily discounted...
Swap the frame for the new carbon Intense Carbine, that should save a pound or two 🙂

Mine was fine for a year or so on my FS, ripped me a new a-hole when I changed to HT so I got rid.
