My bike is about 8.8kgs. The only thing I bought for it that was superlight are the wheels, which are sub 1400g - everything else is scrounged or budget driven. With Keo's, 10sp DA, Zero Gravity brakes, actual non-tandem forks, no strips of inner tube under the bar tape to fatten them up (
) etc. etc., I could drop close to a Kg easy.
A Tephra Ti in Hitchys size would be about 1350g, a Ti SL would be about 1200g, and a steel version would be about 1500g. ( My frame, size 'extra huge' is 1750g )
