It's ti-ano. I'm not spending £20+ on a Ti bottle cage. I like those mtb Specialized ones - good grip.
There's a new seatclamp on the way (bit beefier), and I'm building a set of winter wheels (Excellight/On-One/CX-Ray), so that'll add about 250g; but I can deal with it, really ;) At the moment, all in, with pedals/cage/computer/disgracefully messy computer cable, it's 6.5kg, but not at all noodly.
Those IRD Niobiums - @ 390g actual weight - might not hold up well to winter abuse, specifically the braking surface on the front. I want them to last a bit.
