As shown almost exactly 22 lbs. I picked up a 2002 Marin Portofino steel frame 59cm bike last week that weighs 23 lbs.
On bar ends - what BluesDawg said 100%.
Although I bought a low cost replacement front wheel to match the CR18 I've decided to use a 8,9,10 speed freewheel hub wheelset with an 8 cog cassette. The existing rear wheel is some very weird 6 cog cassette with a lockring I don't have a tool for. I picked up a cheap set of Mavic Cosmic wheels that for the Kestrel carbon so a few bikes are getting an upgrade and I'll have a spare lower end 700c wheelset.
