I probably should rephrase the title, not weight weenie but lightweight racing bike. For the cockpit, I avoid to use carbon parts, or like the crankset I rather stay with track one with 1/8 chain than a carbon road crankset with 3/32 chain.
Most of the parts are like new second handed, it may not be that expensive as people think. So far I spent about 1600 on the race bike.
5.5kg is achievable when this bike in "climbing mode".
