I'd really like to get down into the 6.8kg range so I'm thinking of redoing the cockpit and saddle with MCFK components, switching to SRAM Red, grabbing some EE brakes, redoing cable housing, and trimming the stem. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Easy Nate, the guy just joined the forum. You don't want to scare him away, do you?

The gum walls look good on this machine. Is it the angle of the picture, or are you still searching for a decent saddle? If you ride it nose down like this, you certainly haven't found a saddle that fits your body yet.
Your upgrade plans sound cool. You can get some cheap grams by switching out the bottle cages. Arundels aren't the slimmest kids on the block.

Agree about the steerer and the stack - but otherwise the bike looks great; really nicely done, sweet parts selection.

It's certainly the angle of the picture. As for the steerer, I'm waiting for a professional fit before I purchase parts, chop steerer, etc. Thank you for the comments.

I ride a nose down saddle too. A flat saddle never made sense to me given the angle of one's back when on a bike. Nice ride!

No pro riders ride with a saddle nose down. It puts too much pressure on your arms and you often end up near the tip of the saddle which isn't good. It's the direction of gravity, not the angle of your hips. It's an attempt to cancel one error with another.

The bike looks really good otherwise, I think.

Take a look at Jaroslav Kulhavy's saddle position.

I agree with the comments about the saddle's angle.
BTW I would never expect Tinea to give bike fitting guidelines from his couch! He is very critical when everyone else does...
