I can get my carbon bike down to 18 or less without too much crazy spending, but to get my steel bikes under 20 would cost a fortune. Besides, then you lose the awesome vintage equipment. I think the cheaper and better thing to do is ride the hell out of them and shed five pounds off of me. Or maybe 7.
