You start off with a light frame, then you get a light fork, light wheels, light tires, light bars, light seat post, and light cranks.

To get a light bike, you really have to use light parts through and through, and it's cheaper to buy a light bike already to start with than to lighten a heavy bike piece by piece.

One good way to make your bike lighter is to take your rims and drill holes between all of the spokes. Although it does not make a huge difference, it definitely helps.
