It comes in at 22.9 lbs on my scale. Aelle R is a lighter, double butted version of Aelle. It wasn't used on very many bikes. The components are the higher end models from lesser brands - Ofmega crank, headset and BB, Universal 77 brakes, Miche pedals - and some lower cost Campy stuff - NR derailleurs, Gran Sport hubs and Gran Sport seat post. It's actually a quite nice bike. It happens to fit me very well so even though it isn't the highest end bike in my collection by far I still like it and feel more comfortable riding it than I do some of the rarer, more valuable bikes.
