I have a new norco six frame coming. It's stated as an all-mountain frame leaning towards dh and freeride. I was thinking of building it light or bomb proof. In my xp you seldom can do both without paying a lot. Rs Pikes(coil)are a given as well as halo SAS wheelset as those are the bits I already have. I was wondering where i could stand to lighten things up. I was looking at 35lb max weight.

Things like a lightweight seatpost/saddle, if you spend the money there's no reason you'd ever have problems.

I-beam stuff seems impressively light, but little choice.

Lightweight transmissiony bits, titanium bolts, how far do you wanna go?

as im still waiting to have staples taken out of my stomach, I figure I got time to sit back and watch the sales. I could sneek some carbon in a few places like the seat post and bars. mabye some up market cranks as well. I fugure it will be june before im fit to ride so no rush.
