I have two bikes on the waiting, one as a backer and one as pre order. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions waiting for them. Now that I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I should have had more faith on my God that hasn't ever let me down. I did prayed before ordering and after sleeping on it many nights, I got the peace I get when consulting with Him before big purchases. What I'm a little concerned is in the ride quality and durability of the bike. I know that if titanium is not done right, it can crack on the joints.
However, if the ride quality and durability end up all good, I think this bike would sell as hot cakes for $2200-$2500 (my humble guess as a long time bike consumer). Yes, we get lower price and backers, but it doesn't come free with the wait and the ups and downs of emotions that come with any startup. The bigger the risk the bigger the rewards!
