you could also do some home modding. If you have a good saw, you can cut down ur dropouts. If you are not planning on changing your gearing (as in chainwheel and sprocket), then do this mod. Cut down your back dropouts as far as you would like, without cutting into where the bolt screws onto. This can be a risky mod if you cut it do short, but it will save you a little bit of weight. Also, if you have back pegs and can't grind, get rid of them, get a new lighter rim, a new lighter tire, or a lighter hub, lighter spokes, i mean, there is a bunch of things you can do, as long as you are willing to spend some money!!
