Things are the same as before. Things are still moving forward but there is still zero evidence of a team. Original people that were introduced as part of the team have departed. Many on the helix forum are convinced the inventor is working alone at the moment. Everything points to Peter Boutakis not being able to form and maintain relationships. Someone has unearthed a review on him from a previous business as a manager and it had the lowest possible score.
So while I always thought that the bike design is brilliant, and that while a titanium bike at that price point looks too cheap, by my reckoning it looked possible. Buying bulk Ti tubing isn't THAT expensive, and automation and mass production should make it possible. However, the lack of a team is FATAL. I don't think it will happen unless Peter fixes that.
