Jur, would you please post the rest of the new photos you had access to as one of the Kickstarter backers? I would love to see more images of how the front end design was resolved.

Regarding Joe Remi's comment, "That dude is a crook", that's a very strong accusation. I have not seen any evidence here or elsewhere that would make that a true statement. Yes, there have been numerous delays and it seems he should have made managed expectations better with more realistic delivery date projections, (it sounds like he's had his share of challenges along the way) but the time spent developing/resolving/patenting the design seems to have been in the interest of putting out a better/stronger/safer bike. How many of us have ever tried to start a bike company from scratch, let alone one that has a truly unique folding frame/fork design?
That's nice. He's a crook.
