For the poster that asked, it's a mix of 105 and Ultegra for this year.
Wheels, tires & tubes, lighter pedals (w/some new shoes; switching to SPD-SL from Time) and a tune up were what I was thinking. Trying to find something a bit lighter, but my head is spinning trying to identify the right wheelset that will work with the components I have.
If you can see cracks its a health hazard. Although decent wheels the bontragers were never really that light, so plenty of decent wheels will leave you at the same or similar weight.

Both about 300.00 and 2000g, fully compatible with your bike, just get some tires and tubes to go with them. Lighter is always possible but not cheaply. Replace the wheels and go have fun.
