    I have invested in a few successful projects. Nothing as much as this. The most I have previously was around US$200. I have had my share of unsuccessful ones too though. I think it's a bit hit and miss tbh, so I only invest in things that I can afford to not get i.e. not too much money wasted...

    I have a Specialezed Hardrock Disk SE 2015. It looks like the minimum spend is £500 but don't want to spend more than £700 including fitting. I live near to Guildford in Surrey. I only around 10 miles a day max. Although weekends maybe more. Thank you J

    What problems do you foresee from buying from kickstarter? That's the idea of kickstarter. It is incentive for people.

    Both of the US made bikes are just 'cool' looking especially the chopper. At $4500 it is way too much money anyway. Thank you for the help J

    Because I am lazy. Ha ha. There is nothing wrong with me but after 10 hours at work I would rather get home with as little effort as possible. I think the main reason is curiousity tbh. The SO is curious too and wants me to try it before she makes a decision. She uses the car much more than I...
