Just sourced a new to me CAADX 2015

Frame = 1500g
Fork = 545g

This is a disc brake system. What are my ways to get a super light groupset matching I am trying to aim for 7.2kg bike here.

Willing to go 1x to reduce weight. Expecting to aim for a 500g total crankset, and sub 1200g wheelset. Thinking about 38x700 rubbers.

Open to ideas, I am aiming for mech disc, unless you think there is better ideas.

If the frame is externally routed or the routing is very simple then I'd definitely explore mechanical disc brakes as long as you spend good money on Growtac, Paul's Klampers or Juin Tech GT-F or GT-R. Pairing them up with SRAM Force 1x11 Mechanical shifters is a very light set up.

Planet X were selling those shifters very cheaply a few months ago and I grabbed some, no idea if they still have them in stock. I converted mine to 12 speed with a Ratio kit.

Am looking at SRAM Force 1x11, but asthetically not as appealing to me, may look at other SRAM line up. But again dont want to spend 700g just on shifters.

I'm coming from ultegra 6800 and 8000, so SRAM is something new for me.
