If the frame weighs four or five pounds then you're good. Just for example my Paragon (56cm, Ishiwata 024, fairly stout) weighs 5.5 lb with headset cups and a BB installed.

Some mid-grade frames are made only partly of butted tubes, or they are made of straight chromoly that's still thinner than hi-ten. There's a spectrum!
