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

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...
