That's over a 1/4 lb. Ask anyone building up a 7K plus bike. A 1/4lb is quite a bit.




I understand you're disappointed that your Dragonfly was not delivered as advertised. You have every right to expect it be so. However, there are manufacturing tolerances and a hand made bike will have more variance. Also, did you calibrate your balance? I realize it's probably not off by ~5 ounces, but add up the water bottle nuts, balance error, and tolerance and it may not be as bad as you think.

Having said all that, what I really most want to say is "Dude! It's a quarter fricken' pound!" Get real! Did you buy the 'Fly for bragging rights? Did really you make your final purchase decision because the frame weight came in lighter than the CR1 or C50 or whatever other carbon frames you test rode? If so, IMHO, you really need to analyze your prioritization method.
