Had a few upgrades since, such as sram red shifters, weight now at 7.8kg inc garmin, pedals, bottle cages etc, which isnt bad for an XL, though have 7kg as my target.
Upgrades to soon follow (given as a student i can afford them) include:
Sram red 53/39 Gxp 175mm Chainset
Sram Red Front Derailleur
Sram red rear derailleur
Sram red 11-23 1090 cassette
KMC X10sl Chain
Ritchey Wcs wet white 130mm stem
Ritchey Wcs carbon logic 2 bars
Ritchey Carbon Wcs seatpost
white titanium seatpost clamp
Red bottle cage bolts and cable ends
the saddle wasnt level as had just raced cobbles is Assen which knocked it out of bonk, but the white tyres i have to disagree with :P i think they look good
no not standars wheels, they are sram s30 al race wheels, no way i could drop 800g, they weigh 2.21kg for the set including skewers, very light, on par with any set of tubulars, especially on my budget.
rest of the spec includes:
asformentioned sram s30 al race wheels with ceramic bearings, latex inner tubes and schwalbe ultremo zx tyres with chinese titanium skewers and now a sram red 11-23 cassette
sram red bb
sram red 52t chainring (needed junior gear)
sram red shifters
carbon look bar tape
sram bar ends
dura ace cabling and housing
sram force rear derailleur
ritchey pro streem saddle
sram apex white brakes
a2z red chainring bolts
look keo max 2 pedals
elite bottle cages
garmin edge 500 with sram front mount and cadence
currently only the frame, chainset, finishing kit and front derailleur are standard
think thats it all
even zipp 202's are 1150g, then id need 500g worth of tyre, 30g of glue 50g in the skewers, and 160g in the cassette, which takes me to only about 1.9kg which is only 300g lighter at 4x the price, and have the faff of tubs
the saddle wasnt level as had just raced cobbles is Assen which knocked it out of bonk, but the white tyres i have to disagree with :P i think they look good

They really don't.
Nor the white saddle, hoods, ridiculous amount of seatpost showing and stack of spacers under the stem.
