[spoiler:\\ this is just another show off case

Well...it all started last autumn when I bought an used 2006 Sunday Elite frame (I've been bitten by the "Sunday bug" after reading the forum). It was all scratched up, so I decided to sandblast it; after that I powdercoated it in white.
Next thing I ordered the bearings kit form IH (great guys btw). So, I replaced all the bearings (max E on the lower link) and the red lower "dw" link. Then realised I had play in the bushings...so...ordered the "heavy duty bushings kit" from TFtuned. The DHX 5 was freshly rebuilt (so said the previous owner), so I decided not to operate it.
After having the frame in a "close as new" state, I began searching for the perfect parts for it. Had to deal with several shops and several guys, from all over the world (from Hong Kong to San Jose and from Sidney to Uk), but finally managed to get what I wanted (and @ a decent price ). Here's the current spec:
Frame: Iron Horse Sunday Elite '06 - medium - with upgraded Max E bearings;
Rear shock: FOX DHX 5.0 with TFT Heavy duty bushings;
Headset: FSA Orbit 1.5R
Fork: RockShox Boxxer World Cup '07 w/ flat crown
Stem: Sunline Direct Mount
Bar: Sunline V One OS
Grips: Sunline Logo lock on - Thin in white
Brakes: Avid Code '07 w/ 203 mm rotors (F+R)
Shifter & Der : Sram X9 + X9(Med cage)
Cranks / BB: Truvativ Holzfeller 170mm + Truvativ team 83mm BB
Ring: Truvativ 36T (will be replaced the next days with e.13 38T)
Chainguide: e.13 LG1 (with a taco made out of an old truvativ bash)
Pedals: Wellgo MG 1 in white
Post & saddle: SDG I Beam + Bel Air ST
Chain & cassette: SRAM PC 951 & PG 970
Front wheel: Hope Pro II + DT Champ spokes + Mavic 729
Rear wheel : Hadley + DT Alpine III Spokes + Mavic 729
Tires: Maxxis Wetscreams in 2.5 (supertacky) for the wet and Maxxis Minions 2.5 (slow reezay) for the dry. I'm using Maxxis ultralight tubes.
What do you think? Where can i loose some weight? (i'm a lazy one...
I'd like to thank all the great guys here on the forum for the precious info they provided and also for helping me out with the build up (had bought some parts from the monkeys).
