Will it be available in the UK though, Ed? Swobo are taking pre-orders for January delivery in the US, and Charlie the Bikemonger is, I think, the UK importer for Swobo, but will he bring it in?
The trouble is, SSCX is a niche within a niche, and no-one is prepared to risk bringing bikes into the UK market in case it fails. You'd think, given how many Pompinos On-One sell, that someone would chance it.
Raleigh are a case in point, at the Cycle Show last week they were showing an aluminium SSCX frame, with discs and a belt drive, but don't yet plan to bring it to market here, but are gauging demand instead. If there is enough, they might take a chance.

Yep, he's taking pre-orders now http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/swobo-scofflaw-ss-complete-bike-5699-p.asp
It also appears to be made of 531 not 853 and the fork in the photo is a Whisky No7 but no mention if that's what it's actually spec'd with or not...
