went to the toilet, saved 468g

[RocketRacing]

Hahaha... poop.

Where do you find 32g barends?

There needs to be a “heavyweight build”. Select the heaviest components... i bet you could do it cheap

did you eat again though? if so, total waste

[RocketRacing]

But in seriousness:

- unwrap tops
- lightweight elite bottles
- berk saddle was good money vs grams saved
- used frame with used r-sys slr wheels was not “cheap”, but saved a mint over buying new.
- wren stem
- mt zoom axles

Another cheap option is to find a scale that measures too light.

But in all seriousness, cheap and light rarely go together.

But i do have a 21g hand pump. Good luck getting anything over 40 psi though...
