Pretty sure you can use EE brakes on that frame. That will save you a good chunk. Besides that the wheels are the obvious place as carbon tubs will save loads, and the bar, stem and saddle can all be swapped for lighter ones.

They do a Madone specific DM front and then the DM rear.

Look at the brakes and saddle. The RXL's are great (around 1400g), so unless you're moving to tubulars, you won't be dropping much weight there.
