Cired, I can see the "disappointment" in finding the weights not jiving. 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.
