After recently having my first child the bike stable has been reduced as I won't be riding too often for the next year.

I still wanted the chance to ride and someone to work if it came up.

So picked up an XL Cannondale Trail SL 3 for $350 AUD.

Now I am wanting to shave some weight off the bike while keeping it on a budget, doesn't eat into my savings for an AM bike next year.

Bike is completely stock.

DriveTrain Upgrade EBay Cost $120AUD
(Maintaining 9 Speed due to price)

XO SRAM GriftShift
SRAM X9 Rear Mech
Deore LX Hollowtech Crankset
Deore Front Mech

Next items will be Wheels and Forks.

Wheelset looking at Novatec laced to XM319 for $250AUD

Forks RockShox Gold Solo Air for $330AUD

Can anyone else suggest other changes that would give me bang for my buck.
