i lived in a cheap 1 man tent for 3 months, it treated me well packed down real small on the bike, it never leaked. It had the cheaper style ground sheeted floor which seems to prove more durable and waterproof than the lighterweight alternatives on more exspensive tents!!!
you could squuze 2 in at a push no problem but it was ideal for 1 and all the kit.
there are plenty of tents out there that pack small and weigh less than 2kg. try yellowstone matterhorn 1 (£19 delivered) or highlander blackthorn 1(£30).
The plus with buying so cheap is that you don't worry about it and at the worst you buy a new one.
Most cheap tents come with very heavy pegs so just replave these with something much lighter to save weight. I normally use the bike as an anchor point and wind break to set up camp.
