Edited Date/Time:
So I am getting close to pinpointing each part I want to build up to make a new bike, I will be using parts I already own, as well as the stuff I will buy new to keep cost and unnecessary quantities of parts laying around. SO onto it !!!
Pics of a general idea on how it should look are at the bottom of this post.
Anything in BOLD, are things I OWN already. Also, I am only adding prices to what I want to get, of course. The only tweak I will not make, is for the FORKS, I actually really like the Elite's
Alright so starting with the frame, I want something that is responsive, so I went with this as my frame.
-Fit WIFI (20.75) (Matte Black) (5 lbs) $200
As for the rest.

Weight: 23.0525 LBS (23 LBS 0.84 OZ) (Weight is approximate)
Complete cost, no shipping: $822.44 - $835.40
So it is a fairly light bike, I included the weight like I do every time I add parts together, mainly because it is fun to figure out, and it gets me an idea on what I should expect in terms of lightness and how I could imagine a different feel compared to whichever is my current bike.
SO, LASTLY, should I make some tweaks here and there, if YES then, what should it be? I know I will get hated on for not getting rid of the Elite Forks and not getting Odyssey R-25/35 Forks. But oh well.
Welp, broke past 1000... yeeeee
