Weight weenie?... Helloooooo! I went through this process a while ago with my Trek build (link to thread in my Sig).
My advice is to set some HARD targets, things you MUST & CANNOT deviate from. Mine were;
All retro 1993-96
24 speed
front sus
All real parts that most people would ride without question
Magura rim brakes
Sub 20lb.
Example, you said retro, but the 23g brake levers are not retro?
And realise that weight saving comes from shaving every gram from every component.
