Atomic 22 / Infiniti 3D security system and skewers

Let me check my inbox... he emailed a little while ago lost in the darkness of working his arse off to try and actually get to market:

I hope you are well and have enjoyed the summer?

The reason I'm writing is that we received an email from one of the guys on the forum re an update and we didn't want to traipse in to the community as a manufacturer and we aren't quite ready to announce over our 'newsletter' subscriptions so we figured the best idea would be to drop you a line.

We are still slogging our guts out at this non-stop and have suffered countless setbacks which have been difficult to take. In relative terms, we are practically there now but the small shortfall between current status and releasing product is always an inordinate amount of work.

After developing everything necessary, we moved out of Cliff's earlier in the summer into our own workshop outside Horsham to begin production proper but we have encountered umpteen problems with everything from the usual BT broadband debacle through to some very serious issues with our main CNC machine getting the sh#ts about being moved!

We've also made loads of refinements to products, all in all costing us another unplanned few months. We have made some solid progress with various things recently and we are hopefully now seeing some light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. We won't put a date on this as there is always just so much to do and the seemingly most innocuous issues have a tendency to become significant hurdles. We appreciate that people are frustrated waiting but we are doing our utmost to get there. We hope the end result will be considered worth the wait anyway.

We haven't forgotten about Clefty and we'll drop her a line soon. Hopefully she's not a fair weather only cyclist so she'll still be able to give the stuff a go.

In the meantime, enjoy what's left of the fair weather!

tl:dr It turns out that the first 80% is 20% of the work, and the last 20% is 80% of the work. But they're slogging on.
