On your build, low end wheels are costing you some on weight, and depending on what they are...I've seen seatposts and stems that are boat anchors.
Good point.
I'm spending time on an 09 CAAD9 5 with CF tubulars, and a Thompson post, and stem. Fully built the bike come in at around 16.7. Not bad for a sub 2K bike.
