Can I get away with 105 pedals or should I go Dura Ace for the weight savings?

This past weekend, I rode the Bourbon Country Burn in Lexington, KY. On one of the decent climbs, as I was about to crest the top, there was a group of riders resting on the side of the road. I’m riding my Cérvelo C3 and a guy from that group yells out, “Look, he’s riding an é bike — it’s a Cérvelo”. I groaned defensively, as the work was all my own.
I later came across two women riding road Cérvelos. They agreed with me: team Cérvelo must stand together to fight this disinformation!

It’s not a meme but this seems a suitable place for this.
If I could look a tenth as good on the bike I’d be set for life, I wouldn’t even want to go fast, just to look that damn good.
White sockets, brim up casquette, wonderful souplesse chefs kiss!

Scheming for next season. If I’m going to place last anyway, might as well finish the season on the podium.
(Further explanation, only 10 people raced in elite, with only 1 racing every single race… meanwhile 70 people raced sport, with 9 racing every race… hence me getting 9th overall… and I calculated the points, I woulda got 2nd in elite).

Really? I wanted to get my wife a flat bar gravel bike (because she wanted a mid-90s MTB). I got my wife a Liv Devote (Giant Revolt) with an AL frame 2x9 Sora (then converted it to flat bar) and it was $1500 this spring That was a pretty decent buy.
I probably could have gone sub-$1k with a road tire bike and lesser gearing. That FX Sport would have made my list if it was out. She needs the lowest possible standover height (mini-person), so the Giant would have probably still one. BTW, riding a 48cm flat bar gravel geo bike when you’re a 58cm guy makes you feels like a circus bear on a tricycle.
I also just bought a Deore AL XC bike, that was just a bit more. “Lower end” athletic-type bikes are 1) $1600 is the new $1000 entry point. 2)Lower end specs components are better than the 2015 $1600 bike.

A friend of mine was looking the other day for fitness bike… So a flat bar bike with decent components…his budget was about 1k…
So I showed him this…
So, it is possible to make a decent bike for around 1k. Trek and many other don’t care. As long as they sell, they will continue to push forward with pricing. And that’s ok, they are a business and they can do what they think is better for the business.

That is a nice bike at a good price with excellent bits allaround. Even in 2015, that would have been well priced.
Only does 32c and had too high of a Standover for my case.
