Geez, this thread has veered a bit off topic. Well, here's more contribution to that.

What a frame manufacturers tell you might tend towards the optimistic.

The Dragonfly frame is neither less than 6 pounds, nor is it the world's lightest tandem. My large/medium Dragonfly frame weighed 6.45 lbs unpainted, and (more relevant) 7.07 lbs. painted. Both Rugamer carbon frames, and Paketa magnesium frames weigh less.

If we find an actual weight on a Tetra, it will likely be more than 6.75 pounds in size small.
