My Langster's around 19 pounds with bottle cages and pedals. That's mostly stock; upgraded the brakes to Campy Potenza with TRP levers.
The stock wheelset probably weighs about 2kg, maybe a little more. That's an easy pound to lose. Carbon touch points might get you another half pound. Then, a quarter-to-a-half pound on lighter crankset.
