What's the before & after bike weight?

From 23 lbs. to 21. lbs according to my digital bathroom scale. To lose significantly more would entail going to Kinetix Pro wheels and something like Stelvio tires. For a regular bike that sees almost daily use of some sort, I prefer a puncture resistant setup rather than all out lightweight.
