I came across this site yesterday. For anyone who has not seen it, it's pretty cool. It's for those who would rather spend a $1000 to reduce the weight of the bike by a couple lbs, rather than stop drinking excessive amounts of beer to reduce the weight of the engine the cheap way.The site has weights for thousands of components and a decent forum.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I removed the weight of my roadbike from around my middle. By far the most effective way for trimming weight off my MTB.

Back in the eighties, there were a few folks who drilled holes in their cranks, shift and brake levers, etc. in order to lose a few grams.
