This project was quietly cancelled last week. See bullet item buried in this blog post: http://rawlandcycles.blogspot.com/2010/11/suspended-animation-not.html
*The Mini Moto project is on the backburner for the time being. There is still a lot of work required to design and then produce this tire. We simply do not have the time to carry this tire out. I will email those who had pre-ordered a set(s) with further details. * I also pre-ordered a pair -- it's a bit distressing to see the Mini-moto option still on the "products" page given the blog post. I'm hoping to hear from Sean soon regarding the pre-order I put in a couple weeks ago. In the meantime, if you were thinking of throwing in on this pre-order, you might want to hold off.
