I'm Tynan on this one. I'm a weight weenie and a bit of a steel addict at the same time. So in order to keep things light I shave grams where I can.
My lugged steel fixie skidder weighs just under 8Kg.
My steel 29er weighs just under 8.5Kg.
I make no appologies for my OCDs, as I love these bikes
In the fixie I have a Token square taper BB with titanium axle and tiramic bearings. Titanium is not as good a material for a BB as axle as steel TBH(but better than alu), and you need to be careful with titanium/ aluminium contact areas (seize easily). But the set-up has been great for me.
