David the flamingo rep. in WA also a Birdy dealer/broker http://www.birdybike.com/ returned my call today and he indicate to me that there is more than one sample/type available at his place. He also told me that he was given all the samples from the interbike show by flamingo and thinks the products are close but not quite ready for the prime time in th USA. I guess he is comparing with his other product Birdy! He also talk about setting up a net work of dealers as I guess what he had done again with Birdy. When I ask for a meeting at his convenience for eval. and test ride to compare with the brommie he promise to call me again after his return from another bike show somewhere. Stay tuned.
