Looks good. Can we have a spec and some weights?

Cranks graphics are a little distracting, but bike looks nice and clean otherwise! Will be great to hear more about it...

That's a lot! That saddle weighs 130g and the pedals at the most 260g. Switching to i.e. the lightest Time pedals would save you 130g at the maximum, so you would have to have a saddle that weighs 60-70g.

Well, it's not far off, but going truly weight weenie with those bits. :D

What pedals and saddle are you switching to?

You're right that's a little optimistic. 5.85 - 5.9 kg would be better.

Pedals would be mavix zxellium ultimate/time or bebop (I have some new bebops that i'm maybe planning to tune with ti axles)
Saddle a tune speedneele (stripped it down) or something similar in shape but with more rounded edges......

Wow Sram!!
But... unless you are pro, frame is too small.

How do you know the frame is too small without seeing a picture of the owner????

I have a BH Ultralight Evo as well.. It fits like a glove. You're mistaking EXTREME compact Geo and TT slope for a wrong size frame. These frames have exaggerated top tube slope, where you have to run lots of seatpost. I'm guessing by design, because my weight in the saddle is where it needs to be for flying up hills.
