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.

Again , you're going to have to be patient here, but is the reason for running 29er rims so you can get wider tyres on there? If so, can you still run something like 28mm tyres or does it depend on the individual rim? I've always cycled on 23mm and although I know larger tyre = larger contact patch = lower pressure and more comfort, I'm just a little apprehensive that it won't feel as speedy as my current bikes.

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
