I am thinking of ordering a single dragonfly, in looking at the website description of the d'fly it said:

"This may not seem like much, but the way to make a 12 pound bike is to address every component and look for opportunities for weight savings, no matter how small."

I assume that must be the smallest frame size with some uberlight components. Just curious as to weight of other d'flys out there..especially those that are 58cm.

I bought a d'fly tandem last year and absolutely love it. It has completely removed any tandem envy...the ride, responsiveness and weight are better than anything else i have ridden or owned (trek, co-motion, cannondale, burley and paketa).

I would call Craig on it. The 12 pound bike mentioned on the website was probably a 54cm. That seems to be the standard size used for comparison. I would think that a 58cm would add somewhere between 4 - 8 ounces which would still give you a bike less than 13 pounds.
