I've got it with Record derailleurs and Chorus shifters, a 1410 gram wheelset and soon to get a 1350g set of carbon tubulars. Any way you slice it a sub 15lbs bike is still damn light for any amateur.
Stein has a naked alum 56 Sl on the rack right now. He told me last week he's working to get some leftover 06 Fuji stuff and sub 2k Dura Ace. If I didn't have the Litespeed I would've bought that SL and re-wheeled it.
