My 2013 Caad 10
Frame: Caad 10
Fork: Cannondale Carbon
Headset: FSA
Seatpost: 3T Stylus Carbon
Saddle: Prologo
Stem: FSA K-Light
Bar: FSA K-Force Light
Cages: Arundel
Cables and Housing: Dura Ace 9000
Shifters: Dura Ace 9000
Brakes: Dura Ace 9000
Front Derailleur: Dura Ace 9000
Rear Derailleur: Dura Ace 9000
Crankset: Cannondale Hollowgram SL 53/39 & Stages Power Meter
Chain: Ultegra 6800
Cassette: Ultegra 6800 11/28
Pedals: Dura Ace 9000
Wheelset: Mavic Ksyrium SLR M11 Clincher
Tires: Vittoria Open Corsa SC II
Current Weight: 7.26kg / 16lb
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.
If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'

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...
