As stated in the initial post, it was more of a query regarding "reasonable weight"

The query is that given with a set of Mavic Aksium wheels (not light), and a Campy 9sp Veloce groupset, if I upgraded to a good level groupset and good wheels, how much would the weight reduce by from the current 10.3kg ?
"Who cares", I hear some say, weight is not everything.
It isn't, but I don't want to build a heavy dream bike if I don't have to.
I don't want to save 50 grams at a cost of $500, but if for judicous part selection I can get a kg or so off, then well & good.
That way I can cherry pic the best bits for longevity and function.

As I read in a bike magazine last night, a 7.7kg Titanium bike (Enigman Eulogy) was considered "not light" at 7.7kg and this was a negative of the bike.
Say What !!
