About 27 pounds. Pretty good if you want things to fail on a daily basis.
I still can't understand why you want a Frankenbike. Everything is mismatched.

Reasonable, but some of your components are a little heavy. However, in order to start chopping the weight off, you need to spend lots of money (e.g. SRAM hollow pin chain £50, or even titanium chain £200)
Your tyres a reasonable, but heavy. Try Panaracer Fire XC Pro.
The wheels could be lighter. You can pick up a set of XTRs for £500. Failing that, go for broke with a nice set of DT SWIS 1260s. The Truvative is heavy. Go for Hollowtec. Failing that, at least you want Ocatlink or ISIS.
The Avalanch is a heavy frame. You should be able to get a viable replacemet for about £200. You could always go for a bit of Bling and get titanium (£1500). Top this off with SRAM X0 kit and your laughing.
But seriously, your bike looks alright for what it is
Luck

motorcycles with disc brakes will evidently weigh somewhat extra. you have 2 disc rotors & pads & the calipers. it relatively is going to be extra weight than easy linear pull brakes. that's extra important to you - preventing potential or weight? To me, weight isn't as important because of the fact the common of the climate. i might take a bike any day of the week that ought to weigh a pair of pounds extra, yet ought to supply up extra desirable on tough terrain & hills.

I think the hubs are the only part that is too heavy.
