I am just putting the finishing touches on my Dragon Fly Custom. I plan on riding it across the country in 2009. The frame size is 53cm. Head Tube and Seat Tube are 72.5 deg. Top tube is 54cm. It has an extended head tube and seat tube. Some how the frame ended up with ?extra strong tubes? and weigh?s 1134 grams un painted and 1215 grams custom painted. The fork is an Alpha Q and weighs 411 grams painted.
I have all of the parts and the bike will weigh?s 6121 grams (13.40 pounds) I could have gotten the bike into the 12+ pound range if I wanted. It has taken me over a year to get all of the components together and now I am in the process of assembling it.
Doing a project like this is a lot of fun. But like Bruce said you must make a list of every single part and then weigh the parts when they are purchased. Here is just one example of what happed with the crank assembly. FSA advertised there new K-Force Light Crank set at 630 grams in the USA and 620 grams in Europe. But when I weighed all the parts the total weight was 670 grams. I sent several e-mails and gave them hell at Interbike last year. Finally they updated there web site and the ?New Light Crank? is listed at 660 grams. Good luck with your project.
