Lum, My 51 Bleriot weighs 24 lbs without the V.O. rear rack that is currently mounted. Build is drop bars, 8-spd 105 STI/brifters, no fenders, VO wheels and Pari Motos. If I were to weight-weenie this bike the first thing I would loose would be the Brooks saddle. It weighs over a lb. I was quite comfortable for years on my road bike with a Performance "Titanio" saddle weighing half of what the Brooks weighs. I'm sure that I would be fine with other lightweight saddles, but of course it's a personal thing. My weight-weenie dreams will have to wait until I get serious about building up my Ti road frame again for a go-fast. Honestly, the way to keep it light is to not carry stuff. But that sort of defeats the purpose of a Riv, right? Cheers, Steve
