Some of the highlights of the long-awaited update include:

- Production continues but assembly is pushing the limits of the team due to the complex nature of the process. No word on how many bikes have been delivered since the last update. So far 400 bike frames have been welded,

- Recent retail sales have helped buoy company finances

- An ultralight component package is in the works and would be available as an optional upgrade. It’s reported to shed approx. 4 lbs from the bike. Some of those components could include a lighter crankset, rotors, handlebar, stem…

- Four tutorial videos have been added to the portal’s support section.

- The plan for accessories will commence soon with racks, mudguards, travel case and electric conversion topping the list. Thinking that any progress made on this front will be highly dependent on how many funds are allocated from current sales.

I patiently await production of a pair of bikes which have been assigned a May 2020 est. delivery date. Hopefully all of the production kinks will be sorted out by then and that accessories/upgrade kit will be available for final customization.
