Thats actually great gram to ££ ratio.
Its the wheels mainly. You can easily lose about 500g there. Latex tubes and race-ish tyres obv. Full carbon china seatpost will also save grams. 11-28 (with short cage mech) instead of 11-32 will save grams. Carbon rail arione will also save grams. All these suggestions are not crazy pricey.
Its still quite a bit lighter than your steel bike.
UCI limit is hard to achieve on an alu frame unless you want to spend some serious dollar at which point it becomes false economy because you can get mid-range carbon for less money which will weigh about the same.
My bike is 7.3kg and I've spent about £1600.

Slightly disappointed.
You got heavy wheels, why do you think the Donhou was heavy to begin with?

Slightly disappointed. Will cut cables down and get steerer cut, see where that takes me. Would be nice to get it down to UCI weight limit but that's probably not possible cheaply. Not easy to find 1.6kg of savings.
