Actually it's not so difficult if you start with a mid level bike like Supervitus 980 framed Peugeot PSV which is genuinely a 21 pound bike in 56cm size, with it's OEM components. Just change out a few of the components with lighter replacements and a tubular wheelset, and you'll be surely in sub 20# territory.
I was able turn get mine down to 19.25 pounds with a lighter saddle, a Mavic 801 drivertrain, Stronglight 106 crankset, Spidel LS brakeset, modern Look Keo Classic pedals and a Mavic 330GL rimmed wheelset.
