Yan from Downtube has kindly alerted us to this forum thread (thanks, Yan). Yes, we are still very much alive and kicking! The Burke 20 model is currently in production. The frames are being made in Chattanooga, TN, by Lynskey Performance. David Lynskey (see photo), who founded and built the first Litespeed bicycles, is personally taking charge of production. We have taken delivery of the first batch of frames and they look amazing. We are currently working with suppliers and dealers to get full bikes ready for sale, scheduled to be some time in the first or second quarter of 2017.
We have been receiving quite a lot of interest in the bikes, and we have exhibited them at Interbike 2015 and 2016, and also an airline legal electric model at the recent Consumer Electronic Show 2017. But we didn't want to announce any schedule of availability until we are sure the bikes are totally ready. We apologize for not blowing our trumpet too much for the moment.
Thanks.
