That is indeed exactly what I'm asking here and looking for. $200-300 for a wheelset and tires. Any suggestions on tires?

When you want a lighter bike, start with an aluminum frame and carbon fork.
Dude, if that bike is a 53, it's waaaaay to small for you. 55 is too small for you. If you are 6' tall with short legs and longer torso (that's how I am but I'm 6'1) then 57 or maybe even 58cm is appropriate for you.
It fits me well, if I'm not mistaken it's the same frame as a kilo TT which run 3cm big per bikes direct so in reality its a 56, the seller actually told me its a 54 but khs doesn't list that, only 50, 53, 55, and 57 so I assumed it was actually a "53". Every shop I've ever been to has put me on a 56-57 so I believe this bike is the appropriate fit. It leaves about an inch of stand over when carefully lifted to its limit.
