Hi Kids,
Just a mini-update to catch you up since our last chat:
- The shirts and jackets are in!
- Manufacturing has begun!
- We’re still on track for a June delivery!
Ok, now a little more detail:
Shirts and Jacket Rewards
We got the huge box of t-shirts in from the printer, and they’re sweet. And mighty comfy. I didn’t just get a few bags of Walmart undershirts and some iron-ons, we had the good folks at Contagious Graphics emblazen our 3 color logo on plush Tultek blend shirts.
COLORADO Shirt and Jacket owners: Let’s get together for an apparel party and you can pick up your togs in person! Time’s a little short this week, but let’s meet next week. Time and Place will be announced!
CALIFORNIA Shirt and Jacket owners: You too can pick up your shirts in person! The High Roller prototypes will be thundering down the street in San Francisco on Easter Sunday at the BYOBW Race. Plan on meeting up at the race and you can grab your shirt and take a spin on the High Roller!
Tuesday and Wednesday (Apr 10-11) we’ll be in Los Angeles to ride the Stand bikeway, all 22 miles of it! Contact us at 720-989-1969 to arrange a meetup!
Manufacturing has begun
We’ve finally gotten through getting the manufacturing contracts approved (“…The Manufacturer acknowledges that its right to be the Manufacturer during the Term is on the fundamental and essential basis that it will not during the Term…” Yeah, 25 more pages of that), and issued our first Purchase Order and signed our first check. Things are going to accelerate from here!
Delivery Date
We’re still on track for a June delivery. I’ve put the pressure on and have gotten my manufacturers to share in the urgency of getting the first 300 High Rollers on the streets in June. While this isn’t necessarily a complex project, a couple caveats: a) this is the first time I’ve ever done this, b) anything can happen! But as many of you are backers of several Kickstarter projects, I trust that you have an idea of how this whole system works. Know that we’re working as hard as possible to get this completed and fast!
As always, if you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me any time.
Ride on,
