My 59cm Roadeo was about 21.5# with classic parts: 28h Mavic Open Pro laced to Shimano 600 tricolor hubs Nitto stem and bars 8-speed Campagnolo (Sachs version, actually) Ergopower shifters and derailleurs VO 46/30 crank and VO cartridge BB Brooks Pro saddle
so <20# shouldn't be hard with mid-range modern components.
