I think sub-7 would be nice. I really don't know. Have to weigh the ones I now have. I think the lightest at the moment is one of the roadies, at 7.7 or so kilos (w/o pedals).
A decent target.
Sub 7Kg could be done without sacrificing stiffness, and without buying some of the silly money weight weenie components.
I also feel (IMHO etc.) that if you get the stiffness right. Such a bike would feel far lighter.
