Cannondale CAAD 7 R700 frame
Cannondale Fire stem
Shimano WH-R550 wheels
Shimano 105 gear system
FSA Gossamer crankset

13.6lbs as shown (13.5 at present). Pretty much an eBay budget build.

Don't rush into anything - think about what you want to do and why. Weigh the cost / benefit (gram saved per dollar) of each change you make. And above all, be *patient*. Craft a vision and execute - see Prendrefeu's bike for an example of how to do it well...
Oh, and have fun doing it!
