Your seatpost and saddle aren't the lightest. Also, tubeless, as suggested, will improve the ride quality and probably lower the weight, if your tubes are really that heavy.

thanks for your input
New seatpost ordered. I will consider going tubeless, but for now i will use my lightweight tubes. I love my saddle. Can use it for houers with out notice it. so i will not part with it.
I've just gone sub 14lb with my Scale and yes it does get a tad expensive.
The quick and cheap savings I can see are:
Headset Ritchey Superlogic would save 55g
Quaxar Rotors 160 + 160 would save 110g
XTR cassette will save you around 150g
M980 rear mech (med) would save 60g
MT Zoom Skewers another 80g
KCNC Eva grips will save 95g
MT Zoom or Tune Seat clamp will save 30g
Tyres have a bit of room for lighter ones depending on style but should do and easy 100-150g reduction there.
Hope that helps
