If I’m not mistaken 1200 is the original 505. This is the 2023 CFR505 SL (Super Light).

Exactly!  Although the shape and geometry stayed rather unchanged, the usage was shifted to more allroad  than bikepacking. As its less strong e.g  it's not having all the mounts.
That's not bad in general , but if anybody wants that for bikepacking, the SL is maybe not the best choice.

Look into gravel wheels. I just got a set of Elitewheels that are 35x31. There are some MTB wheels that are even wider but they are not very aero (and often have a very high spoke count)

I just ordered the EDGE 35 gravel wheels. They came in at about 1370g and measure 31mm wide. Build completion is months away but they look pretty good. Kind of regretting not getting the 45s but we'll see.

Just received the Edge 45 Gravel here, 1420g w/o rim tape. Plenty of tape for both wheels was included.

980? Dont Carbonda claim a 1200 weight? That is a big weight improvement.

 Can you please give me the contact of Peter

Speed carbon has such rims (Peter from speed carbon on the forum)
Yuanan as well (OEM for Elite, also on the forum)
Farsports for sure
Basically you want rims that are at least 31-32-33-34mm wide.

Which rim is this?

 
There are very fewchinese d2c manufacturers making rims like that. Farsports make some gravel rims that wide, nextie, lightbicycle. Though the profiles aren't the best aerodynamically, particularly nextie. Ideally you want the rim edge to be wider than the tyre and then the rim to ulge out a bit before tapeting off so the cross section of the tire and rim is as eliptical as possible.

28mm internal would be insane and not at all fit for 28c tyres. You don't really wan't a crazy wide internal anyway

Ask them. Peter by email and Leon by WhatsApp. Their details are on the forum

Hambini did a review of a Lightcarbon gravel frame, up on YT. I'm to stupid to get a URL working in this forum, so you have to find it yourself.
Well worth a look get a feel for LightCarbons QC/QA and engineering principles.

Yes, I've already seen it. Even before buying  :)
Maybe someone can send him the LCR017 Frame  ;D
