Yep. Was in Friday's newsletter. Nice to see into the future.

It will very cool to see an periwinkle color on an Atlantis also on a Clem, if that comes up.

Should we take this to mean the kids bike won't be happening after all?

I mean, did anybody think it was likely to, even before this got posted? I know I didn't... just figured it was another episode of the "Grant's a weirdo" show.

Hahaha! I actually thought he was pretty committed to it. Its a really tough sell when there are so many bike shop quality kids bikes that are sold for peanuts on local marketplaces.

The downside to talking about all the things you’re working on, would like to do (if there was a way to make it viable), and

dreaming of “if only,” is that when deadlines get pushed, reality sets in, and life goes on in z way to keep the lights on,  people 

get bummed out. Inevitable? Probably.

But when you pull it off, people notice and give kudos.

He's a grandpa now, so, yeah, I think it will happen in the next bunch if not this one.

i've been enquiring about the kids bike since the post blahg about it most recently. 

it also coincided with my putting together a new bike for my bike with at least visually similar geo, so realistically I won't be needing it. it's also single speed and he seems committed to the coaster brake which my kid has already moved past.

saved me a couple bucks, at least.
