Mine is 23 lbs (with a freecoaster.  Heavy hubs).  My friends is 20 with no ti and it's super solid.  If you're looking at a complete.... around 24/25lbs isn't unreasonable for a highish end one.  Pretty much everything is under 30 though. 

Some easy upgrades to lighten you're bike include swapping the seat, getting some kevlar bead (foldable) tires, taking off brakes (if that's your thing), and swapping to plastic pedals. 
If you want to spend more you can look at wheels (lighter hubs, down to 36 spokes rather than 48 if that's what it came with), lighter cranks, bars, forks, stem.
If money is no object you can get pretty much anything titanium now.  Cranks, frame, spokes, hardware, spindles, axles, etc.....

Hope that helps.

get your tires filled with nitrogen or helium, that will shave off some weight

i have a free agent speedway, it's meant for bmx racing and super light. Idk shit about bikes anymore but i think anything with an aluminum??? frame is the best in terms of lightness, but im prob wrong.

Redline bro they make the best and lightest bike. You should get a full suspension though they are beast.

KHE makes the lightest completes out there.  They ain't gonna be cheap, but if you want an 18.5 lb complete they are the way to go.

Free Agents aren't light and unless you have the Blend LTD Mirraco's aren't super light.  I mean 26 lbs isn't too bad, but I say anything 24 lbs or lighter is considered a light bike.  Anything else is average or heavier.
