Planned improvements (upgrades) for the Chinese carbon fiber MTB

This post ordered through his daughter a Twitter Carbon fiber MTB via the Ecommerce platform on its birthday.  It was listed at P30K but after the birthday discounts etc, the net price was P25K

It is 3 x 10 with Shimano FD and RD, Shimano M200 hydraulic brake, but Restropec crank, 24, 32 42 but with air shocks and remote lockout.   All with other Twitter parts:  hub, seatpost, saddle, handlebar, stem (and maybe the headset) and weighs in at light 11.7 kg.   (light)  It is colored yellow and expects to arrive this coming Friday.  It shod with Kenda Tires  1.95 inches wide.  

All ready I have plans on what I can improve:

      1.  Order a rear quad piston brake for the rear;    Shimano Zee quad piston brakes
      2.  Order a 2by Deore for the crank (if it will make the bike lighter further)
           or convert the retrospec to one by with a Deckas chainring.
