Q: How close will a production model be to this? What will it retail for minimum price? Can you get fancy upgrades?

A: The plan is to have the '09 Speeding tikitTM be similar but with a front derailleur. Don't know pricing yet, but for sure, being Bike Friday, there will be very fancy ones available!
