Yes, date is suspect, but I just put it out there so that people can know what *new* timelines we've been given. If it's just getting a few bikes shipped out in late January, that may be possible since I am within the first 30. But if Jur's bike has the same due date as mine, then I think there's a serious problem.

I don't think any of us get any new updates as often as we'd like, so I probably don't know more than the rest of you.

And besides, if they are not shipping before people commit to pre-orders (20th Jan), who knows if its just another round of milking 'funding' instead ?

Would you happen to have any new updates directly from them for being such an early backer ??

For all the parts to trickle in, need maybe 2 months and more since there is still the X'mas / New Year period to contend with in the meantime. If they want to ship by then (26th Jan), then at least a significant portion of the parts for these bikes would need to have arrived at the factory already. You still need a few weeks to ramp up assembly production.

At the very latest, all the parts and frames will need to be ready for final assembly and packing before X'mas rolls along.
