This thread was a nice excuse to play with the builder things on some US online store websites, and came to this, which is almost dead on 7kg and $3500.
2003 Look KG 381i (matte carbon finish, of course)
Dura-Ace 2x9
Open Pro/Dura Ace/DT Revolution built wheels
A few extra carbon bits to make it look nicer

Ah.. my favorite conversation. Dreams come true. I would have to say either a Colnago CT1 B-Stay w/ ultegra and Mavic Ksyriums, (a little over $3500) or a Pinarello Prince w/ same components. I'd rather go for a more expensive frame than components, even if i've been drooling for the last couple months at the new 2004 dura-ace. That Look 381i is sweet tho.
competitivecyclist.com is a good bike builder site.

Well I was just at my LBS and I saw a Colnago that looked really nice at $6999.00. Yes, I checked the tag twice just to make sure. So it appears $3500 may not get everyone thier dream bike after all. Pretty sad.

Hopefully, I will be in that position come next May! I have been putting away a few bucks here and there, saving my tax refund, and would have been in a position to buy a Cannondale R1000, plus a pair of Sidi shoes and the new Ultrega Pedals. All told, about $2300 bucks.
Then, last week, I unexpectedly got a bonus at work, $1500, which will put me up to the $3800 area. I am thinking about a Lemond Maillot Jaune with full Dura-Ace, a Lemond Arrivee with Ultrega, a Trek 5300, and a Colnago and a Eddie Mercks........I am going to be like a kid in a candy store!
Of course, I fully expect my wife to yank me back to earth, but the two Lemonds, the trek, and a Cannondale R2000/3000 are sure contenders.
