[Closed] Interesting concept...

I don't understand - he's already built the prototype, got a full workshop, and started the first production batch - so what does he need the money for?

Or is this using Kickstarter as a marketing thing?

I'm guessing a production run costs money?

??

Its ended and the project seems canned? (top right, 0 days to go, target not met?)

Not all that much - tubing is the cheap part of making a frame, it's the jigs, tooling and labour that make it expensive. Now if he wanted the money to go buy a containerload from Taiwan maybe - but even then it's not more than he spent on that nice Anvil frame jig.

Apologies, it has in fact finished. 😳

But with Kickstarter UK launching today, there will be a lot more micro projects like this kicking around (new bikes, documentary, accessories, etc). So worth keeping an eye on.

Basically, only 2 people wanted a bike.
Looking on the bright side, I guess using kickstarter saved him from an expensive mistake.

I'm thinking of trying to fund a project producing an illustrated decision tree for "What tyre?".

It will be 900 pages long.
