221g. the difference between dura-ace and ultegra groupsets.
once you get down to the 15.5-17.5 lb range bikes generally don't feel or ride heavy. it wouldn't take much to get my steel road bike down to the uci weight limit and i wouldn't need to buy really exotic components to do it either but i just can't see the point in doing so. (unless you want to invest in a pair of digital scales and post pics of each component on internet forums)
a good lightweight wheelset makes a big difference to ride and feel of a bike and is the best place to make weight savings imho.
