I did it, gear is under 20lbs
I just weighed my new touring set up in its bags and it comes to 18 lbs. I replaced my old tent with a
Tarptent Contrail and got a 1lb summer weight down bag. I'm still using an alcohol pepsi can stove, and a Thermarest pad. I have 2 sets of on bike clothes and one for off the bike. I have everything I need to be comfortable and keep the bike on the road, but by using lightweight materials its pretty easy to make your load lighter.
