I'm surprised when I read about how light many of the bikes are owned my Forum members. I regularly see weights under 19 lbs. I have to very good bikes, a 2017 Trek Domane and and a 2022 Trek Checkpoint. The Domane without the pedals I think comes in at around 19.5 and the Checkpoint at 21.39. By the time I put on the pedals, the seat bag with tools in it, the rear light, a bell, and water bottle cages, I'm sure that the weight of each bike each bike has increased by two or three pounds. I don't bother to weigh the bikes with all the gear, but I assume I'm pedaling bikes that range from around 22 to 24 lbs, and that's without water in the bottles. Are people really riding bikes that are weighing in at 16 and 17 pounds? How do they do it?
