Bike delivered this morning in the case. Sans mudguard and rack, I guess it will come later. Probably took about 15 mins the first time to remove it from the case and set everything up. It looks beautiful, much better IRL than photos suggests.
The case is well designed and really compact. Time will tell how it fares against abrasion and baggage handlers.

I have a trip to Italy in 3 weeks time to cycle across Tuscany and back over 3 days. I want to take the Helix, but it doesn't have bottle holder or rack to hold panniers. I think keeping hydrated is going to be cruicial. Will have to take a Camelback instead or something. I don't really have time to shop around to find something that fits.
Will commute to work with it in the morning as and see how it goes. Tweaking the ride position will be interestion as I am use to road bikes, although the flat handlebar is pretty narrow.

Unfortunately not enough posts yet to post pics.
