The triple I said was chunky because triples have the extra bosses for the third ring and it just looks heavy for 105 spec parts.
Maybe a carbon fork and bars, new 105 and a proper saddle, it will be well below 20 pounds easy. As it is when I rode it then thing accelerates like its tail is on fire, there is no give, each pedal rotation goes fully into forward motion.
have fun with the build
Mine weighed 18 long ago with a "criterium specific " build --- that is -- all the parts were cheap and disposable in case damaged heavily in a racing incident
---- Tubular wheelset, Vittoria Corsa's , and a mutt Campagnolo downtube friction shift groupset filled with other people's cast-off's from the 80's and early 90's
--- not an exaggeration to say it was the "fastest " bike I ever rode up till that time -- you still had to pedal it, granted ------ but what an effective prime' machine
-- Hopefully one day soon it will roll again
