Thanks. Just in time to miss Xmas shopping, brilliant marketing scheme ! I suppose the boat from China got delayed.

Edit for idle speculation: Another reason for the delayed appearance may be to get an even higher margin on a bike that probably sells for an estimated $30 or $40 in China.The distributer may be getting a cheaper shipping rate by waiting until after the shipment of all the consumer goods from China for Xmas sales.
