1. Swapped the grouppo from 9100 mechanical paired with TRP spyre to
Sram red 22 mechanical & AXS 2 pieces calipers
Trp was heavy (166, 167g each) New calipers are 111g, 113g. I shaved 109g off.
But Hydraulic shifters are 72g heavier (No oil filled) So not that much change.
2. added some Polished alloy parts.
Stem, Rotor, Lock rings and flatmount adapters are de-anodized and polished.
my bodyweigth scale says it is 6.75kg. (14.88lbs for imperial people.)
How do you like it?
Deanodized and polished Kalloy Uno stem.

Hmm It is fine and all the parts are gathered but the whole re-cabling and cutting the steerer takes too much time. I have to spare my time for
upcoming bar exam, so I postponed the whole plan. Not this year.
I did some pointless things. stripping anodized surface and polishing!
Polished parts:
Rotor Dm rings, Derailleur hanger, front thruaxle,
Rotor DM rings is made of 7075 aluminum alloy, which is relativelly suceptible to corrosion exposed to elements e.g. calcium chloride, salt water, etc. I needed a protective layer. So I put 2K epoxy clear coat on rings.
You can see rear mech hanger is now silver too. I also put silver guide pulley and acid green 13t tension pulley.
Upcoming items:
1. I bough OSPW pulley cage to utilise 34t cassette for future gravel rides.
2. I bought Panaracer gravelking SS 43c tires for cx wheelset lying around.
Current weight is 6580g

A new Wheelset arrived: Lightbicycle AR25 rims with Bitex hubs.
I asked LB to make mine sturdier than stock version. 60g was added for that.
A pic after a brief test ride.
Front: 505g
Rear: 619g (without 5g of 10 speed cassette spacer)
total: 1124g
* Rene Herse Snoqualmie pass 44c extralite casing. 661g (321g + 340g)
* Two 6 bolt - centre lock adapters. 60g total
Total weight: 6.65 +/- 50g with 2 cages, Assioma uno, Garmin mount.
I do love its glossy, paintless look. Totally satisfied (yet).
