how about a waterford custom steel? i hear they have a steel frame road bike that's 15 lbs fully equipped. that should be a comfortable ride as well as more than race worthy for most of us amateurs.

Yea the R-33 is a little to much for me right now. $2000 for a frame and about $350 for a fork.

If a Waterford is over your budget, you might want to consider a custom geometry Gunnar.
The OS2 (True Temper OX Platinum) Gunnar Roadie 56cm frame weighs ~3.6 pounds.

I was looking at the Gunnar's, they seem to be a great deal for a bike basically made by Waterford. $750 for standard geometry frame sizes, $1075 for custom geometries.
The Curtlo's are inexpensive, but I've read that the paint is quite fragile. The gunnar's might be a better bet in that sense.
