What parts are on that bike? 22.14 lbs seems high as 1800 gram wheels aren't even that bad.
Breakdown with
listed weights I could find.
Frame: 2006 TCR Composite (~1100g per Weight Weenies)
Fork: Wolf CL (original fork was cracked; 460g per Cervelo forums)
Wheels: Mavic Aksium (front; 902g per Weight Weenies); Forte Apollo (Rear; 935g per Performance)
Tires: Serfas Seca RS (208g per Weight Weenies)
Stem: 3T ARX Team (134g per Weight Weenies)
Handlebars: Shimano Pro Vibe Sprint (295g per Shimano)
Shifters: Ultegra 6600 (~490g per Weight Weenies)
Crankset: Shimano R700 (864g w/BB per Weight Weenies)
Chain: Shimano 5600 (n/a, not that I could shave much there anyway)
Seatpost: Luis Garneau Aero (n/a, but it's no chunk of lead)
Saddle: Fi'zi:k Aliante OEM (271g per Weight Weenies)
Cassette: SRAM OG-1070 12-26 (240g per Weight Weenies)
FD: Shimano Ultegra 6600 (104g per Weight Weenies)
RD: Shimano 105-5600 (220g per Weight Weenies)
Brakes: Shimano 105-5600 (346g per Weight Weenies)
Pedals: Shimano R600 (304g per Weight Weenies)
With the given values, it adds up to 6873grams/15.15lbs. Note this is without the seatpost, chain, tubes and tape. I weighed my bike on the bathroom scale, and while it's no Park Tool, I'd think it couldn't be ~5-6lbs off.
A thread at BikeForums says the TCR C2, which my bike started from, out the door weighs 19.5lbs w/o pedals. Another review at
Riverfront Cycle says after switching to a full 6600 group, the bike came to 20.02lbs. I'm pretty sure there's no water in the bike, and ultimately, it should be lighter from its stock form. Only weight gain I can see is the handlebars - and that's probably ~70g.
I can't see any reasonable measures in losing weight on the bike. Cockpit is set to my ergonomic liking, wheels were meant to take a beating. Changing anything else would cost more than I'd benefit.
