[Closed] Lightweight HT, how light?

I've just finished a few upgrades on my C456 and am pretty happy with the 25lbs weight. It could be lighter but then it would be either less fun or alot more expensive! Definition of fun and rideable will vary with skill, weight and local trails but who's got a lightweight but fun HT? What compromises did you/didn't you make? Mine's: SLX brakes(203/180) cranks Zee mech and Saint shifter Pacenti CL25s on Superstar hubs, 24 spoke CX Ray. Tubeless with big ol Hans Dampfs both ends Wide Kore 35mm bars, 800mm but I can see myself cutting these down to at least 780. Mag-Ti pedals 34mm X Fusion fork Reverb. Which will take a good battering round my local trails, obviously if I lived in Scotland or north Wales I may have gone for some heavier wheels and even beefier tyres.
