I have just recently taken delivery of my Fuji Team Issue 05. It's pretty light but I'm looking for a few grams here and there to get it down to the magic 15lb mark.
One area that seems obvious is the headset - it has an FSA integrated H/S with both compression plug and a honking great conical spacer that unfortunately forms part of the top seal. Here is the description from the Fuji site : "FSA 1 1/8" Integrated Road, with convex hollow alloy 25mm spacer". I take issue w/the lightweight statement. The spacer weighs 50g and the compression plug is another 40ish. Are there any lightweight alternatives to this setup - both compression plug and spacer?
