Take it back and get a new bike! It will cost a lot to get the weight down I am afraid, as has a balanced spec.

New forks like Rebas would help, and the easton stuff is a little heavy. But for that cost might as well have bought a better model to start.

Just ride and enjoy, and replace with lighter parts as they wear.

Cheapest way to loose weight is to convert it to single speed!

whels! std wheelset on them iirc is in the 2.5kg area, a set of crossrides at 1900g will make a noticable difference!
prolly save a lbif you upgraded the drive train and finishing kit but not a cheap option!!!
if you spend the price the bike again, youd possibly get it to the 25/26lb mark! :shock:
