Nice work. Hard to get 4-series frames down that low. I recommend you look at upgrading the seatpost and saddle next, as you're using pretty hefty parts there.

New saddle and bars ( 3rd different set ) are next on the list hadn't really considered the seat post until now so thanks for that Fijigabe . Pretty pleased to have got it down to around 7.2 (mainly due to the ffwd tubs) .

You can usually find the Bontrager XXX seatposts on ebay for good prices, same with saddles. Now, you can also lose some weight by going with small light weight components, like the seatpost clamp, headset cover and bottle cages. Once you handle the big things, then look at the other ones, and you'll hit your goals. You can definitely be sub-7kg on your build, without too many changes.

6.8 was my target but I think I'll struggle to get that low . Got a Ridley helium SL ,Sram red build that I've been eyeing up that should come in close to 6kgs but I kinda like being married
