The "B" length SLX set, which will do up to about a 25" frame, weighs 1966g according to an old Cycle Goods catalog from the early '90s. SL weighed 1932g, SP 2295g. 531ST is listed at 1935g, 531C at 1800g, 531P 1700g, Tange Prestige 1987g. I seem to recall more tube specs in Paterek's Manual, but my copy is on loan at the moment. You might ask on the framebuilders list.
