then you would have to approximate for the areas that aren't cylinders, e.g. dropouts, but most of the bicycle is tubes
if you want to know the SA of everything including your saddle, spokes/rims, pedals.. then that would probably be pretty damn impossible.
that seems like a good way to approximate nearly everything. should have said, just the frame. it's a monocog, so it's a little chunkier than a track frame.
