The custom parts made in Taiwan seem like they are causing most of the delays, but at least the locally made parts are apparently on schedule. I hope there aren't any more delays, but I've become so used to them now, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more problems. I just hope Peter tells us quickly instead of leaving another gap between meaningful updates. I hope that the custom parts are not going to wear out (I think they are mostly Ti, right?), because as spambait11 says, it's going to suck if we can't get hold of replacements or have to pay through the nose because they are so exotic. I would love for Helix to became a popular bike like Brompton, so getting replacements isn't that hard.

Video is pretty good though, and is by far the best look we've had at the bike yet. I wish Peter had shown the folded bike in a bit more detail, but it was great to see him fold it slowly, showing how the mechanisms work.
