Determining the weight target will be difficult. You set yours based on the current legal competition limit based on a sport that happily has all the parts pre-weighed and actively produces light weight parts.

That sounds like an excuse.
How much does Dammit weigh and when was the last time someone from the uci weighed his bike before a race? - Point is there is a method to why he chose that set of criteria, but he still just made it up.
Just choose 5kg with no rider weight limit and a budget of £2.5k and get on with it.
As for parts, the only one which gives you an "issue" is the frame*... which isn't really an issue as you can still use a road frame conversion, a Seta, or maybe even a stripped carbon road frame with new dropouts bonded on.
maybe you could argue a rear hub too, but even there you have ww choices.
