Partial road set up... just a different front wheel/tire. Gearing is too low for real road use though.

My DB Haanjo Trail. Swapped tires for 700x28 Schwalbe One, swapped bars for 42cm Bontranger Race Lite VR, Kalloy Uno 110mm stem, Ritchey WCS carbon seat post and generic Chinese spider saddle. Bike weighs right around 20 lb in current config minus pedals, cages and computer.
I will probably get some cheap, light chinese carbon wheels for on road and keep stock wheels and tires for off road but bike will be 90% on road. Stock wheels are beasts. I weighed them with cassette and rotors and was about 2900 g for the pair. I estimate 700g for cassette and rotors but probably 2200 g. Bike climbs much better when new tires (which also cut over 1 lb of weight). Wheels will will probably cut another 1 1/3 pounds

CARBON FIBER Wheels :: Road Wheelset :: Road Bike Disc Brake Carbon Wheels :: Road Bike 38mm Disc Brake Carbon Clincher Bicycle Wheels 23mm Width -
I bought set of their rim brake wheels and have been pretty happy. There are many other sellers though. This is another popular but more expensive brand
Wheels - Bicycle Wheels
Still much less than Zipp

I do love the Clement MSO tires, but I'll probably put on Compass Barlow 38 all black extralight and add SKS P45 fenders. I am falling for the big tire thing. Cush is king! However this Crossrip is anything but Cush.... For now it works, but looking for a replacement. 
Always bike shopping, even if I am not buying.

I'd even be game for the Diamondback EXP for touring/ bike packing. For everyday sporty street riding on a bike that can take some serious off the beaten path riding. Cannondale Slate!!!!
a 25 year old Schwinn Crosscut gives more performance than the Trek Crossrip!! And it fits larger tires than the Crossrip!
