Breaking 13lbs would be sweet. But once you're in the mid 13s, my thought is you're pretty much there.
Good to hear the wheels are working out. I know you bought them from that nice woman wheelbuilder that let you try out a ton of wheels. Are they the 3.4s or 45mms? I thought 45mm, but now I'm not sure.

Of the wheels I've ridden, the 45mm Enves are my favorite. Enve stopped making the 45mm and 65mm rims. I picked up a 20h 45mm rim on closeout at Fairwheel and had them build it with a Tune Mig 70. 636g. I'm using it in front instead of the 65mm with a 65mm rear Fairwheel relaced with a G3. It's been awesome.

OMG it's sooo hot I couldn't resist to touch it in real life. I'm clearly not an expert, but for me the red hubs with the gum wall tires don't go well together.

Or red if it matches the hubs. Cause I know those Ritchey bars have some red accents in them too.

My 65mm set had black custom decals. When I bought the 45mm wheel from Fairwheel, Enve said they'd be willing to do a run of the same black 45mm decals so it would match the 65mm rear (even though they're not selling the rim anymore). But it was $150 for just that wheel, so I ordered a full set of 45mm and 65mm black decals for $75. Came out nicely in case you decide to add decals.

I wanted gum walls but the gumwall tires that I looked into are more prone to slices and punctures. I agree that a gumwall woukd look better, but this still gives me the look I was after, along with having a good flat protection tire. I have a friend that has a lightly used set of veloflex tires that I might get to throw on. I didn't want red on the tires. Anything other than the yellow (gum wall) or black looks cheesy to me

agreed, red tires = no bueno
corsas are the only good gum clinchers i know of, and ive heard people say theyre like tissue paper so i definitely get where youre coming from on a practical level
but im nicer than a lot of other people in here, lol

Haha, that's exactly what I have heard too. I originally set out for the corsa tire but after I was told about how fragile they were, I lost interest but still wanted a yellow/gumwall. These were thebkast 2 available at my LBS so I went with it. I don't regret it one bit. I'm head over heals in love with this bike, so it will work for me.

Poorly staged, over cooked the flash… whatever. I'm not sure I'll keep the Thompson post, and have the Ti post on the way. Kind of like it, kind of want a different look too. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll slam the stem, but since I can't put weight on my left arm yet, this is the most comfortable on the trainer.

Aside from matters of personal taste, there isn't much to complain about with the bike, but you get points off for the pose and clutter.
That said, I normally prefer color to solid black, but there's something about this kind of plain black and blue on a bike that just totally turns me off. Desperately needs some white. And as bowed frames go, this one isn't too bad.

Everything screams hot aside from the stem really...

I agree. Remember 2ndGen? His GF painted his Enve decals black. That's what I wanted to do. And the old black stealth wheel decals looked better.
But then I crashed and broke the R3SL. I got a new bike, fixed the R3SL, and stopped caring so much.

An oldie, but a goodie.
OP has outstanding taste in equipment: R3SL (one of the orig WW frames), swapped-out Wolf fork for Enve, SR11, Enve wheelset, ZG brakes, etc.
Would love to see some boutique-y cables and housings here, too.
