Are you relying on manufacturers quoted weights? Most of them are 'optimistic' I'd say.
A frame of your size in 853 should weigh about 1800g with paint - BUT you did go for a massive headtube - which - adds a lot of weight (The bigger the headtube - the thicker the walls need to be - to avoid the 'coke can effect') so maybe 1900g?
I can tell you now, there is no way your wheelset weighs 1600g - It will be more like 1800g (Unless you used superlight spokes and alloy nips?)
^^ Like Ed said, You have a great all-round bombproof bike, with sensible components. Any weight saving you make (aside the tyres) will not be felt riding. Once you go gram-hunting you'll end up frustrated with the best parts of your bike! (The frame and the wheels). Ride and Smile
