I'm on board with these guys, a viable & ridable bike like you're specifying, will easily be over 20 pounds (before racks or any other accessories). That said, I'd love to see it if the OP can pull it off.
If that's possible, it would be on something like the Seven Cycles Expat, a titanium bike with a Rohloff option.
