It is going to depend on several factors...

I run heavier weights in the colder weather and where I am going. My average gear weight is ~ 45#, low of 35# high of 55# while on a winter expedition trip. Bikes vary from 35#-42# (XL frames)

I currently weigh 215#, but will be working to get that back down to 185#.

I don't really worry too much about weight when touring I carry what I need and want to be comfortable.
