I was curious about the frame weight of the magnesium Paketa. They exhibited a lightweight bike at Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show.



Paketa says its V2 magnesium tandem frame can be built up under 11kg (24lb).
According to Paketa, this frame was painted (actually, powdercoated), size Large, and weighed 5.26 lbs. or 2384 g.

So, my Large/Medium Dragonfly weighs 7.23 lbs, 3280 grams painted.

The Paketa weighs 896 grams, 1.98 lbs less.
