Looks like a good build! I've not seen cranks in that size before (if you don't mind me saying so).
yes, but how much does it weigh?

got my bike built, however it came with some issues with the planetx not being able to modulate properly. It has been returned and was temporarily replaced with a SRAM apex caliper for the moment. Took the bike out last saturday and went out on a FRB on sunday with a local mate for 58km. Have not the time to weigh it in for the LBS was busy , shall update it when i can
wow, nice, clean-looking bike! i like especially the wheelset, the anodized rims look great!
thank you Krull for the compliments, just made some rides and completed a sportive with this steed and indeed a fine one,

got some time to weight it in with my local LBS and it seems it comes in at 7.29kg fully equipped with bottle, pump and computer cage with pedals
7.29kg
it will be sometime till i get some other parts in for a second round and what needs to be done, till then i hope you all enjoy the build process

thanks Thanh, the fork is cut, however i havent been to the fitters to get the true height i need, at this moment its comfortable for long rides.
What i think it might hit sub 7kg is this
-headset cap & expander
-cables & housing
-the brakes calipers that were initially thought for the build
-tubes & tyres
best i could think of at this moment, if there is any else please do let me know

Very nice build, Have you cut the excess seatpost? how are you getting on with those Exusar pedals? Do they take look cleats?
What about some BB30 cranks? Could probably shave 200g there...
