Paddywagons are great. I mean on paper they're nothing special but they ride well and take bigger tyres and guards making them pretty versatile. Great winter road bikes, ace commuters and tough.
They're not particularly light, even for a steel frame. You need some forks so carbon is an easy way of saving some, but not a huge amount of weight. Build everything else up to normal spec and you'll have a bike lighter than low end road bikes.
