I would put my money on the Litespeed T1SL which they market as a 1000gr frame

The website for Enigma says they are from Britain. Not Italy. Says they build their frames in England. Frames are priced in British Pounds. Their lightest 6/4 titanium frame says "from 1250 grams". Not exactly light by today's standards. Or light by what Litespeed did in the early 2000s with its 6/4 frames.

I'm currently trying to find the weights of the lightest frames in both steel or titanium that are commercially available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for a target to beat!!
Thanks,

Check out Baum in Australia (I think). He has some of the lightest steel. Also Ti. But semi-custom to custom so I don't know if that meets you availability criterion.

Rodriguez claims their steel S3 frame builds up to 13.5 lbs with Red (can't find a claimed weight on the frameset)

Take a look at Rob English as his name always comes up when discussing light steel frames:

I think this is fairly light for steel at 1430g (Cinelli XCR):
