If I wanted a Ti folder, I'd get one currently in production. If I wanted THAT design, I would certainly be disappointed, but at this stage, I'd be hopeful that the intellectual property would be sold and that someone would make it a reality.

If I was just some piker looking for a deal on Ti folding bike, meh, I might get angry, or I might shrug and think to myself, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..."
