Bikes: True North tourer (www.truenorthcycles.com), 2004; Miyata 1000, 1985

My 1985 Miyata 1000 weighs about 28 lbs. without racks and fenders.

I also have a custom-built touring bike, but I have never weighed it. My guess is that it weighed 22 or 23 lbs. when new, but I have since changed the carbon fork to a steel one, upgraded from 28 mm to 32 mm tires, and changed the feather-weight (yet flimsy) seat with a Brooks saddle. Plus some other alterations, and it's probably somewhere between 24 and 27 lbs.
