My ~56cm Rivendell custom came to a little under 25 pounds, ready-to-ride.
That means that weight includes a mini pump, tubes+small tools, a small bag
to hold 'em all, and pedals ("official" bike weights often omit that!)
Because I built it to be a randonneur-type ride, the weight even includes a
Schmidt SON dynamo light+hub, fenders, and a small front rack.
Some highlights for you to consider:
- Full Campagnolo Record 10-speed with lots of carbon, although no Ti
cassette
- Titanium bits like the Record seatpost, Ibis quill stem, rails on the
B17, and some less-critical bolts
- 32/36 spoked wheels with lightweight rims manufactured from Nb-Al
alloy and DT Revolution spokes; brass nipples though
- Lightweight Challenge PR tires with lightweight Schwalbe SV-18 tubes
- Super-exclusive Nitto "Soba" handlebar :)
There's nothing that I will cringe at, safety or performance-wise, but
*some* (bike nerd) effort and monies were spent making it lighter where
applicable during the spec+build, although not after to achieve a specific
weight goal, because there wasn't one.

Sadly, I wish I ride this bike more. I'm mostly on my 30+ pound Atlantis
nowadays.
