Recently got the osmo dragonfly 2p bikepack edition and can absolutely recommend it. Great value for money, small packsize, very roomy and smart features.
The tent isn't the only thing on your rear rack in that photo, is it?
I've been using the NEMO Dragonfly OSMO 2P bikepacking model as a solo tent. It weighs a touch over 3lbs and will fit between the drops on 42cm bars, can get smaller if I put the poles elsewhere on thebike. Mine is in a sort of spruce green/olive drab color scheme, so a lot more subtle than some of the colors from Big Agnes and others.
I'm using the NEMO Dragonfly and am a big fan of it. I also think you should go with a 2P model - weight and size differences are minimal, but even traveling solo the additional interior space is a luxury for bringing items into the tent with you (or getting dressed/undressed inside).
I have a Kelty discovery Trail 2 that has been excellent over the last few years. I JUST picked up a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo 2 from REI on sale and its AWESOME.
Nemo makes excellent tents. I have the hornet elite 1p and the hornet regular 1p and the dragonfly 2p for when my husband and I go together. I love them all. They do have some cheaper tents that aren’t as light (ours are all 3 backpacking tents). I’d highly recommend Nemo, but like someone else said, there’s lots of good tents that aren’t super expensive. Our car camping tents are all Alps Mountaineering. We also LOVE them. Their 4 season tent is our fav and we have had it for many years and also recommend it too! It’s really reasonably priced for a 4 season. We camp the most in the Tetons and Yellowstone as we live near the parks and the 4 season is nice for that. I’d also recommend looking on www.steepandcheap.com for tents. They have great prices and it’s powered by backcountry so it’s legit.
My wife and I have had the 2p versions of the BA Copper Spur, BA Tiger Wall, and Nemo Dragonfly. I didn;t like the Tiger Wall, and the Dragonfly had less head room than the Copper Spur and was heavier (this was an older generation). We still have the CS2P but two years ago we switched to the Hornet 3P w/ Osmo. Love that tent, and I don't see where we'll be switching to anything else. Really spacious, yet quite light for a DW. I've used various 1P Hornet's going back 10 years, and currently have the "Elite" 1P in Osmo. It handles weather really well. Osmo fabric is great. In your shoes, I'd definitely go with the Hornet 3P.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
