Raleigh's Stuntman is $2.3k and 26.9lbs. Their $2k Tamland 2 weighs in at 23.5lbs.
Kona's Rove ST is $1.7k and 25.6lbs (56cm)
Jamis Renegade Exploit is $2.1k and 23.75lbs
Niner's RLT 9 2-Star is $2.5k and 23lbs.
It would certainly appear that if Breezer Inversion may the lightest steel adventure bike, but if not, it is clearly among the lightest, but if y'all are benchmarking off other comparable steel adventure bikes, do let us know.
The particular Breezer in question, is listed at 29.5lbs. Which is handily more than all you've listed. Whether Breezers are heavy in general or not, near-as-makes-no-difference to 30lbs is porky.
