i wouldn't trust carbon handlebars, looking at the pro tour bikes it was surprising to see mostly mid-top range ally stuff being used. the deda bars i have are only 200g and cost £40-£50 carbon bars don't weigh much less but cost 4 times the price.
evidently those who pick my bike up say it's light, i don't know how much it weighs and it was never meant to be weightweenie bike but open pro's instead of heavy deep-v's, carbon post, light drops not heavy mtb risers, all contribute to it's lightness.
i would have thought a modern external bb crankset would save a lot of weight but i don't think a track one exists? maybe a ti square taper bb would save a fair bit?
