The updates are given on their website, and for those with login credentials only. Kickstarter updates are fewer and for backers only. So from the outside, it looks like a disaster. From the inside, it continues to look fantastic. They are at pre-production stage and have posted photos of a wide variety of the parts. A large effort is put into making it as perfect as possible. The obsession with making it very very good has resulted in the delayed delivery, as every aspect has been scrutinised for possible improvements. So as good as the prototypes have been, so much improved will the production bikes be. Not long now...
I'll believe it when I see it, and I don't expect to see it as advertised. At twice the cost, maybe.
