If they can stabilize for now on 100 bikes a month (speculation), then I hope my first bike, scheduled on May, will ship before October. I take that as good news!
Doh! It never even occurred to me that the virus would have affected their supply chain.

The ultralight components sound intriguing. It would be great if they were made available in time for customers who would like the option of swapping out stock parts prior to taking delivery of their bikes. Not sure what Peter had in mind with respect to this offering.

Unfortunately, accessories will likely face more delays for now (no real surprise) but another CNC machine is apparently arriving soon to help speed up production. It also appears that a new customer liaison has been tasked to respond to our email inquiries.

Brief progress updates with numbers are supposedly to be posted every 2-3 weeks now which is encouraging to hear. It’s also probably safe to assume that new delivery dates for our bikes will soon be revised in the portal.
