Your stem being not angled down enough just looks weird, it looks like it is set at zero degrees, which is never hot. Get some new bars, stem, and saddle, and that thing could close to the 11lb rang.
Thanks for the feedback, although your information about the stem is not correct, the stem is adjustable by 10mm, here are the specifications from Look's website, I have the 120mm to 130mm length:
C-STEM INCLINABLE FROM -9° TO +13° AND
ADJUSTABLE IN LENGTH (10mm) - 5 LENGTHS
AVAILABLE = 80 – 90 / 90-100 /
100-110/110-120/120-130 mm
As far as the angle of the Stem, the bike was fit by one of the top Bike fitters in the world : Steve Hogg, that is how he set it based on my sizing and flexibility. I understand from an aesthetic point of view it would look better angled down more but that is how the bike fits me.
As far as the weight the Stem only weighs 160grams.
