Would you have got to 2kg if you had a more compact shape and more seatpost?
The main reason it came out heavier was because I did it by hand but had planned it to be cut by cnc router.
The tubes are between 2-3mm thick in my cad model, depending on where they are. As you can imagine I erred on the side of caution when machining it because I'd rather be +0.5mm rather than -0.5mm. And 0.5mm is 20% extra when its only 2.5mm thick! Maybe I just need steadier hands! It was also exaggerated by the monster down tube which is, in retrospect, perhaps a bit chunky.

This is amazing. I expect it looks brilliant in the sunlight? Would you have got to 2kg if you had a more compact shape and more seatpost? Might have spoiled the looks though.
