Schweiz – Switzerland would count as non-EU as you don’t have to pay VAT. Though shipping there is more expensive than elsewhere in the EU it’s not quite as much as say Antarctica. If you are really desperate to save the £20 back the EU version and I will ship it (assuming the project is successful).
Yes, there are more tyres in the pipeline but right now the Knard is your only available option. I am in touch with both Vee and Maxxis to see if we might be able to sort something on tyres if these do go in to production.
Yes, production frames will definitely have a headbadge – I am working on the drawing…
Seat tube will likely be 27.2 post sized but I could potentially be swayed if enough people want it.
Tyre clearance – needs a little tweaking but currently the Knard fits with around 8mm of clearance to the side knobs on the rear and more on the front.
