Does anyone have more details on this?

Also, it looks like a component change has been made. Instead of a common aluminum seat post, titanium will now be used. "This seat post will be included with every bike in appreciation of your tremendous patience and support."

The photo looked more like a zero-offset seat post. "We are considering two different designs, the one pictured above and another that has a larger offset."
Looks like you get about the same info as is posted on the backers portal. That's good.

The months are ticking by. Looks like the Helix guy is TOTALLY focused on getting the manufacturing perfect. I would have been much happier if his focus was TOTALLY on getting the test bike dispatched.
