Modern steel like 853 or something could probably go to 17 to 18 lbs depending on build, I would imagine.
My 53cm Rivendell Roadeo with Ultegra 6800, Rolf Wheels, 25mm tires, Nitto handlebars, seatpost, lugged quill stem, and Look clipless pedals weighs in at 19.5lbs. I could probably shave a half a pound if I went with the threadless option and used a lighter stem.
