Total weight 8.6kg A few grams added with the post bars and stem and the wheels but i dont think that is a bad weight with the components used.
I can always go back to the carbon parts if i get bored and save around 600g :D

I would have gone all silver crank, shifters, brakes , etc. but beautiful frame. Also would have gone for a regal saddle with silver buttons instead of the carbon saddle

I agree but I'm limited as it's not a 1 inch threaded steerer,I think there are some options that will fit over my current steerer set up and I have been looking.

I'm not sure what end objective you're working towards but with your latest setup a black saddle would work better I think. Maybe a Flite with Ti rails?
Or the Berk I have listed in the for sale section but if I'm honest the Flite would suit it better.
