If you come across some parts you would be scared to actually use please post them here. Maybe someday someone can build a bike with all of these parts and try to ride it.

Behold these 85g (160mm) rotors:

I have had the 180mm version of those rotors on my mountainbike and they worked fine, they were getting thin a bit quicker than 'regular' rotors would have but otherwise no problems whatsoever.
Chains to the right!

I take it it's not so much the weight but rather the saw-blade design that's scary?

It doesn't count because it's not even lightweight, it's just questionable.
