What I've found over the last few years is claimed weights are rarely true weights. Mavic, for example is famous for underestimating their wheel weights, often by over a 100g per wheelset. Not being a frame builder...in fact, I'm only just an avid bike rider, but it seems to me you've got a lot of man-hours on this Dragonfly. I doubt any two Dragonflys are exactly the same. I'd bet there is a D'fly that weighs 2lbs 1 oz. I just think it's probably impossible (short of mechanizing the entire manufacturing process from tube production to cutting to glue set-up to final sanding) to get two D'Flys exactly the same. Your bike looks way cool. I want to see more close ups. I got a Tetra Pro last year and am still in love with it. Post Extras
