21 lbs was a normal weight for a road bike, back in the day. You can probably
use lighter components now too, but if low weight is your goal, RBW might not
be your brand in the 1st place.

If I remember correctly the tubing used on these early Rivendells was
not thicker per se but some of the tubes had a longer butt section. My
'96 road standard has the same paint job and odd green primer you
described - it was built with the longer butted Reynolds 753. I set
it up with a compact double and 8 speed rear and after the whole build
I think it weighed somewhere around 21 lbs.
