I just got my wife a 2001 K2 Razorback frame. We swapped everything from her Access aluminum hardtail. How much weight would I knock off if I traded the old shimano lx cranks (99 model), UN-52, and 737 pedals with XT cranks/bottom bracket, and egg beaters?

Thanks,

Just wondering, is there a web-site that you know of with a listing of individual component's weight?

trie to change that stem too, if thats a race face prodigy its too heavy! and think about that saddle too. by changing the stem and the saddle with lighter ones like ritchey pro and slr saddle you will save at least more 170grams or even more..
