People get sold on double butted tubes (Pricey upcharge), but never informed of how thin the walls are and easily they will dent. If you're looking for a lightweight bike to begin with, going with a metal bike shouldn't be your first option. That wasn't directed to the OP, just in general. It's like car guys buying really heavy cars to make them fast and removing everything inside to make them lighter. It's almost counterproductive. Just start with a lighter canvas in the beginning.
When I ride Tam, I see a guy with a hardtail Potts and everyone stops and stares at that MTB. There's an understated beauty in simplicity. That would explain Steve Potts bikes.
