Got the news from John at Dean today that it is on its way. ships out tomorrow. I had him weigh it for me while I was salivating on the phone. 2 lbs and 13 ounces is the total. Serious. I asked him if he was sure....damn I can't wait.
I asked if it was going to crumple under me, and he just laughed, he said I would be fine. It is a cross between a medium and a large.
Still in awe about the weight, I told a friend about the weight and he said that is what his serotta road frame weighs about the same, so it is not impossible. If it were anybody but Dean or some other similarly experienced company I would worry...
Anyway, I am sure I will have this for a long time, I will post pics and a ride report when I can.
By the way, total time was almost three months to the day for those who are curious about Dean's reputation of slow delivery. I was quoted 6 weeks or so.
