Remember the mantra:
Low Weight: Low Cost: High Strength - Pick 2

Drill out all but a thin sliver of aluminum on the cranks. Cut large
holes in the frame. Grind down the thickness of the handlebars. Remove
the seat and seat post (actually, that saves weight, doesnt cost a
thing, and would probably not affect strength at all.... go for it!)
