Buying Spondon makes sense, trying for more market w/o filling prepaid orders does not yet compute.

Is anyone still waiting for a prepaid bike?

I expect so. As that's part of the purchasing deal, the customer paying up front before the bike is built, was, and as far as I know, still is, part of the UK agreement.

It would seem the backlog of seriously overdue orders has now been cleared as I haven't heard any further instances of customers asking for refunds.
 
So then what is wrong with exporting now that all the whiny Brits would wanted on, have one? :mrgreen:
 
This concept of paying a deposit up front does have some serious precendents - a doco on the Jag XJ220 mentioned that when it was announced in the late 1980s, Jaguars took 1500 deposits of £50,000 each, for a car that was slated to have a production run of only 350 cars....
