Pretty sure lots of the weights are wrong but there was a field in the spreadsheet I downloaded so quickly googled weights for each component.
How does this look for a Surly Straggler commuter/on and offroad light tourer (would get knobbly tyres for the offroad stuff, maybe Surly 41mm Knards)?
I can get discount on Surly, Shimano and Hope (although I'm not 100% how much yet), the potential (if the quoted weights are correct) over building the above bike over getting the OTP Straggler is 10.3kg vs 11.9kg (although the difference in tyres make up 720g of that).
After building it I'd be looking at a Bigtop bar bag and a low rider pannier rack set up.
