My Guru as ridden weighs just short of 19 lbs. I'm not trying to build the lightest steel bike ever. But, I did note that bike and rider weigh approx. 204 lbs. so the best place to save weight has nothing to do with the bike.
Regarding the Park electronic balance for around $60, I just want to make sure folks know that Chinese electronic "fish" scales off ebay cost less than $10 bucks delivered, have greater precision, and work great. They are not as pretty as the Park kind, but a whole hell of a lot more economical.
