I have a CAAD 12 w/105. I swapped out the Aksium clinchers for Mavice Ksyrium Elite USTs. I've done nothing else and my bike is sub 18 lbs. I think 17 lb 14 oz to be exact. I have 5 road bikes with a GURU Photon being the lightest at 16 lbs as ridden. My heaviest is a Canyon Aeroad w/11 sp Ultegra mechanical and disc brakes. It weighs 18 lb as ridden..When I reach for a bike it's always the Canyon. It just feels right, goes, stops and handles as I like it. So, for me, weight is not a big thing.

I think it would be really easy to drop a pound with just a carbon frame and an actual cannondale sisl bb30 crank setup.

There's really nothing exotic on this, I just haven't had anything ever that weighed in the 16s.

I think my caad9 race bike I put together in college was probably in the 18s with DA7800 and the SRM I got from wheeling and dealing and summer jobs.
​
Weight isn't the end all be it for me but I'm probably going to be on this bike for a little bit.... At least another year and a half or so. I got it used and I'm pretty happy with it.

The mechanical disc build for the Genesis isn't going to be a weenie build. The fork by itself weighs 790 grams. I'm keeping an eye out for a lighter disc fork for it that keeps the geometry consistent because that's pretty absurd. Realistically, I'd love for it to end up in the 19s but even that is going to be tough unless I can find a better fork for it.

Welp, here's my caad13!
16.7 lbs with pedals, cages, and computer mount as it sits in this picture.
