XM319 disc 29" is 22€ - wider and stronger than arch, forgot about your wishes for weight^-2

Weight saving are pointless, if you're slow, lose the gut.
The chainset include the two chainring, which you don't need, bear that in mind, the USE chainring is 261g.
XM319 disc rim seems to be for 26inch wheels only?? Also heavier than the Archetypes anyway...
If you want a lighter one, get the XM719, you did says it's a commuter, in other word, a hybrid.

I think the road chainset was the most economic way of getting a modern chainset on a track bike. Fitted with one of these you are looking at about £100 for the lot, compared to the £170 for omnoms.
Alfine chainset is also a good bet because it's stupendously cheap and you get a chainring and bashguard thrown in too. Technologically it's pretty much the same as the omnoms, i.e. forged arms, hollow axle, external BB.
If you want light rims check out Stan's, maybe Alphas or Grail.

I can't figure out how this is much lighter? For example Shimano 5700 chainset is 720g and bottom bracket 90g, (810g) minus whatever the small chainring weighs (can't find a weight listed anywhere). Omniums are 825g including BB...
It is quite possible that I am being an idiot (as I said before, I am the world's most unpractical person) but this doesn't seem to be much of a weight saving.

@exoder, cheers for the heads up - looks good but that's too big for me... I'm a tiny manlet and will be getting a 52cm frame
