Nice! - Hopefully my build will be similar with an Sram force groupset and FFWD Ryot 33 wheels.

I know this forum is mostly about weight saving, but with my bike + rider + kit weight of about 75K, an extra 500gm is only 1/150th i.e. 0.667%. I can't see that making any real world difference and the improved prower transfer and handling of a high quality frame is likely to more than compensate.

I got mine quickly assembled and took a test ride today, its not in its final form but nevertheless i am very happy with it.

Chroma Pink Size M
All Dura Ace 12 speed except the crank and rotors
Easton EC90SL Crank, Sigey PM Spider, Carbon TI 50/34 Chainrings
Galfer rotors 160/140
Darimo T1 Loop 300mm
Selle Italia Boost SLR Carbonio S3 saddle
BBInfinite BB (116g)
Tune Wasserträger 2.0 bottle cages
Ultegra Pedals
Enve SES 3.4 Disc with J-Bend DT240s from 2018 (tubeless ready, hooked, int 21/ext 28mm) around 1400g
Veloflex Corsa Evo TLR in 28mm with a shit load of Sealant in it (90ml per wheel)
Heavy stock through axles

Fizik R1 stem in 100mm
Fizik R3 bar in 420mm

All in all with pedals 7,14kg.

So with the proper bar/stem (Waiting for an Avian Falcon II in 380x110) and the sealant situation fixed it will be below 7kg, which was my goal.

I will post some pictures when the whole build is done

It's soon the one year anniversary for the Time Alpe d'Huez and it's been a fun year. The evolution of the bike is still going and after a lot of thinking, regrets and re-thinking I finally made the decision for a new powermeter: Rotor 2inPower with 170mm cranks and a direct mount 53/39 chainring. It's a bit heavier than the replaced "11 speed" Shimano Ultegra 53/39 with 4iiii dual sided power meter, which was faulty. I also had to change the bottom bracket with the new crankset which saved a handful of grams.

Also, I changed the saddle to a Saevid Sillin S2 at 72 grams.

The total weight is "officailly" 7,39 kg and my next upgrade will be a Avian Canary cockpit, with new and lighter computer mount and handlebar tape (Supacaz suave) and also a pair of new disc brake rotors.
The diets after that will include a Shimano Dura-Ace cassette and probably a Darimo seatpost since I also would like to have a little less setback.

I forgot the full bike picture.

Some ups and downs of the diet. I still think it will be possible to get under 7 kilos without doing to crazy things. In this setup I have changed to a new and slightly lighter bar tape, same model but the end plugs were much lighter. I have a new cockpit that is lighter and a better fit for me, and also the cables are fully integrated. I also had to change the front brake due to leaking pistons, and upgraded it to a Dura-Ace which saved me a whopping 20 grams!
I also had to change the tires and was surprised to find out, which took a while, that the cream side walls Continental are in total 100 grams + heavier than the previous I had, which had brown side walls. I also have one heavy butyl innertube and also heavy BBB rotors. Tires, tube and rotors which are temporarily installed increases the weight with 250 grams.
I have my spreadsheet saying 7377 grams but the weigh say 7425 at the moment.

Changing to another color Continental tires, put my Galfer rotors back and get a new Tubolito tube + longer term upgrades: getting a Goldix cassette and a Darimo seatpost with no setback, will probably get me just under the 7 kilo mark.

Enjoying your thread, these frames look stunning IRL based on a green one I saw on an event in the summer.
Sadly my research suggests yours is not unusually heavy for the frame and forks.
I think there's a saving to be made in the cranks, much as I admire mine for reliability, the Rotor cranks are far from a light option.

Thanks Nixster.

It's a very good looking frame, I agree.
Is my Time frame and fork not unusually heavy? Or it is unusually heavy?
I have double sided power meter in the Rotor cranks which might not be the lightest, but compared to a Shimano crankset it can read power correctly on the crank side. 794 grams vs. my old double sided 4iiii Ultegra R8000 (11speed) at 730 grams that ended up as warranty.

But to be honest, if I could go back in a time I think I would have got a Dura-Ace crankset with a single sided Stages/4iiii or something. But I think I'm going to stick with the Rotor for this bike til the end

During my build of an ADH01 rim brake (size M), I weighed the frame, fork, seatpost, and all small parts together (lazy) at 1600g.

1150g frame 400ish forks is about average for this frame I think.
My preference for cranks now is SRAM arms and quark spider, not true double sided but better than a left crank solution I think. With light rings under 600g is very possible. A bit heavier if you retain the Shimano 4 bolt rings and matching spider.
With the BB386 Evo on Time frames there's no need/benefit to restrict options to 24mm spindles either.
