I realised that I had all three in 21" stripped down and thought I would weigh them out of interest, the RRA is 1947 and the other two 1950 so pretty comparable and the results are in and counted so in reverse order to the nearest 0.1 lb.
Sports 6 lbs or 2.7 kg
Lenton 5 lbs or 2.3 kg
RRA 4.2 lbs or 1.9 kg
No surprise the Sports is heaviest with its gaspipe tubing but the other two are both Reynold 531 and the weight saving looks like it is in the lugs which are scuptured and thinner section on the RRA. As you can see there is much work to be done (and money to be spent).
