I have been waiting for this, as have a lot of others.
Juicy gossip you've after eh? Well I think there'll be a few people get excited about this...
Peter has been distracted on another, and IMO more fruitful project (for me anyway as I race on the swift). It's a carbon project with a custom carbon fork (long steerer so no riser needed) and carbon wheels. Not so practical for the daily commute as tyres are tubular but the bike as pictured weights 14.5 lbs. That's if I'm managed to attach the 2 pictures.
Post is a thinwall Dahon one.
Fork is a special order and once Peter has finished testing it he'll be ordering a batch. I'm first on the list BTW.
