With a better crank I could be on a 17lb bike. This bike is on sale for $1300 Canadian. Decent deal?
Sounds like a good deal. Wheels will be the most bang for your buck in terms of grams per dollar and performance. My Caad 10 was built from the frame up and isn't exactly exotic with Force/Rival group, Ritchey aluminum cockpit and Hed C2/White Industries wheels, Fizik Antares carbon rail saddle and it's around 16.5 lbs.
