This is why I'd bet money on it being over 20lbs. The square tapered BB that many price point bikes come with weighs more than your newest frame (not really, but close).
Unless the Nashbike comes with carbon tubulars, I'd guess 22 would be the number.
None of this takes away from his bike of course, I was just pointing out that the Nashbar guy said 19lbs, and he's full of it.
Also, the 105 CAAD 12 costs three times what the OP paid. Yes bikes are lighter than 1997, but the light bikes still lighten a wallet.
Hit it right on the head 69Chevy...22.3lbs with the pedals...still not bad and seeing as I was pushing 33.4 around its a world of difference. I do feel that the pedals have made vast difference in power transfer to the bike, i can now feel that my upstroke is helping the oppisite downstroke and the other way around.
