My Cannondale Capo weighs 16.7 pounds in its commuting mode (with brake, etc.) and 16 in its track mode. This I am very, very satisfied with. I must admit, though, that I'm planning on building up a pair of tubulars for the track that will coincidentally be somewhat lighter than the bombproof deep-v's I have on their now. But that's not the main reason I want another wheelset.
Those lugged steel beauties can be quite light. Lugs originally were meant to save some weight over the primitive welding methods available at the time. Nowadays I assume it's slightly lighter to just weld it, given the lack of lugged steel frames available. I have a high-tensile lugged frame that probably weighs twice what today's carbon frames do, along with standard components including steel bars and stem, and it weighs in at about 20lbs.
