I had similar results on our Bashan, so far I removed well over 15 pounds of fat off the bike...
Next up for the Bashan's weight loss program is some lighter rims (I'm looking at Warp 9 or Excel rims) that I will seal up and make Tubeless to save even more weight (tubes can get heavy depending on what Ultra Duty Version you buy)

 sorry but that is double dutch to me - does it mean they are heavier than their weight due to rotation? wouldn t that add to stability on the road?i want to lose more weight, so i only eat fruit salad at night  eh, no, i mean weight on the zong  , so should rims be on my list? the frame of the zong200 is always gonna be heavy, but bringing her down just below 90 kg should be possible.

more weight loss:
changed stock tank to a clarke tank and only filled it half! clarke alum fuel cap reduces weight further...
