My 2 cents:
Older Argon 18 Gallium Pro's (pre low seat stays) are pretty heavy.
Older Focus Izalco (pre Izalco Pro) are heavier than the last featherweight Izalco Pro. By 150 g approx.
Older Ridley Helium is a good option, but they are ISP, so check for max seat height before buying.
What's your budget ?

if you although include focus izalcos in your search, take care to look for the "izalco max (gen1!)". this is the very light one (ca 700 gr. in size 52/matte paintjob). izalcos without "max" are comparatively heavy!
regards,
Thanks for the reply! Just bought the giant! It feels really light and has giant slr1 wheels in it. Now the search for lichtwheels. I like the look of Eurus wheels... but if they are light.. hm.. is it possible to get lighter and good loking wheels than these?
Why shouldn't be? I'm now on 9cm stem, with last change of handlebars. I thought 10cm will be right choice (given stated reach of handlebar), but 9cm it is.
Btw. I don't get it that "5-7 kg". It's a big difference. Moneywise, if nothing else.
Light clincher, not carbon -> look for wheels built with Stan's notubes 340 rims. Those with good hubs and spokes can be very light, I have a set which came in at 1280 grams. They are around 340 grams a rim, and I don't believe much lighter clincher rims exist.
