Me neither, so much nicer to ride in the warmer weather

But I'm guessing you'll be riding a new steel Fat?

Yes, that is what I meant. My first steel bike since my 1986 Univega Rover Sport

Great news! Glad Chris reached his target. It even made it on the news !

Re:

The project keeps losing pledges. Down to $114,877 with 4 days remaining. Come on people!

Re:

Is that because some peoples pledges bounced?

Does Kickstarter try to take the cash when the target is reached but some didn't have the money?

Or can people back out?

Seem harsh either way.

No kickstarter takes the money if the target is reached AND the time is up, not before.

Re:

Oh I get you, people may have committed but are now re-assessing and pulling out before the money is taken from their accounts.

Makes things ‘interesting’ for Mr Chance!

It’d be ok if he was well over but as he’s just on the line it’s not great.

What happens if he fails to get the total?

Are there options?

Although you’d have thought he’d be able to pull a string or two to find another someone to pledge $1000ish?

Re:

Id like to see this Kickstart thing work, I think the concept is good for start up business.

I would be very surprised if Chance didn't proceed despite the very small shortfall.

I mean if two guys in a shed from Somerset can proceed with there frame building business with the very small following they have, when they didn't hit there target Why cant Chris Chance...? The short fall is so small its insignificant surely..?
