They say the last couple of pounds are the hardest to lose, but Newbury Park Bike Shop (the ones that built up that 15.6lb Cannondale Flash) have come up with a way to drop about half a pound from your portly whip.
Custom fabricated for an upcoming project bike they’ve hinted at, these carbon chainrings and spider were machined from blocks of carbon fiber for a total crankset with bottom bracket claimed weight of just under 500g. We didn’t get any pics of them on the scale, but the standard Cannondale Hollowgram Si SL crankset system with BB30 bearings weighs in at just 580g, so it’s not a stretch. The crankarms are machined, hollow 2000-series aluminum mated to a thin-walled 30mm axle.

Looks like Craig’s going to really have to bring the lightweight to the party with the new eeCranks to top, er, undercut these.
