Its actually totally possible to loss weight, while buying lighter Components for your bike and do both.
My BMC was a boat anchor frame built to UCI limit. Not only did that cost a lot over time. A lot of the Components simply didnt last. I was (still am) in love With that frame though. So didnt mind.
My full carbon felt is 7.4kg in race mode.
I somehow managed to swap to a much lighter frame and gain weight (I blame the seatpost). It still rides amazingly, and I havent been tempted to cut weight on it (it an aero-weenie bike. My OCD has moved on).
Anyway. That bike looks very sensibly put together. I'd personally get a far lighter stem, and a carbon seatpost. Then save up for some silly carbon Wheels for bestest. I bet this alone would drop you Close to 7.5kg. From there its just a case of upgrading as and when you need New bits.

TLDR - Nice bike, nuke stem.
