Great build
. Considering the Frame and Fork weight and the highest end components I thought you would be under 5k.
My Guru Frame is heavier [740grms] but my bike is lighter. Obviously its the tuning I have done etc, but I have clinchers on my bike. I really thought this was a under 5k build.
I'm not dissing this build in anyway its super just a bit shocked that it was not nearer the 4k. Its a very classy build and please feel free to send it my way for a North London road test " hammer"

Could certainly have built this 400-500 grams lighter with different wheels, bottle cages, mechanical groupset, etc.. But in my book, 5kg is a happy medium between light and reliable given this is will be ridden in rough/gravel roads, rain, ocean spray, salt, etc.. It's not a fair weather bike.

What's a great looking bike, Berk sure knows how to build 'em. Love the color too, I painted my old mountain bike that same color, just looks bad ass
