Hi Knut,
What about a Tune speedneedle saddle?
Tune Bracket.
Tune Cranckset with TA rings.
Sram pc 99 hollow.
And Nokon Cables

If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
Go for the Tune saddle, maybe an FSA carbon cranks, Syntace F99 stem, Extralite headset, Triple Ti egg beater pedaler, Sram x.0 drivetrain and Formula disc brakes.
Dump that XTR stuff.... too heavy for a lightweight bike! A normal hardtail with disc should be about 9.5 kg.

That's right, no dual control. Use a lighter cassette, if possible Dura Ace 12-27 and a lighter bottom bracket (Tune etc.). Use Tune or Huegi hubs if you change to X.O or rapid fire or use huegi centerlock hubs.

should be no problem with triple chainrings in front. Could save lots of nice grams
