It's a heavy bike for sure, however I think that's down to component choice:
Frame: Alloy, Boardman designed and Merida manufactured, size L
Fork: Full carbon, tapered steerer, Boardman branded
Wheels: Hope Pro II hubs, Mavic TN719 rims, generic tubes, DB spokes at the rear and plain guage front, Maxxis Refuse 700X28c
Cassette: SRAM 11-32
Chain: KMC S10
Cranks: 175mm Cannondale Hollowgram Si cranks with compact SRM, Cannondale MKV 50/34 rings
Rear Mech: SRAM Apex long cage
Front Mech: SRAM Force band on, CF band
Shifters: SRAM Apex
Brakes: Hope V-Twin cable to Hydro converter, G2CS 160mm discs
Cables: Generic, with noodles to smooth entry to the V-Twin
Seatpost: Thomson 31.6X400mm, layback
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Stem: Thomson X4 zero degree rise, 120mm
Bars: 3T Ergonova Pro 44cm
Tape: Fizik Microtouch
Mudguards: SKS Chromoplastic 45mm
Lights: Small Knogs front and rear, Hope Vision One at the front
Computer: SRM PC-7 and plastic mount
Other crap: Garmin mount on the stem, ANT+ speed sensor on the chainstay
Nothing there (apart from maybe the SRM spider) is in any way a weight weenie choice, everything has been chosen for reliability.
