It is pretty easy to equip a vintage 4.0-4.5 lb steel frame (only) in such a way as to give a total bike weight of 16 lb or so (sans pedals, bottle cages, and computer mounts) by modernizing with a carbon fork and up-to-date components. If you want to keep the look of vintage parts, however, the total weight will be much higher as described by other folks above.
