Good—I’ll certainly be able to get enough, then. But what about everyone else? What’ll they get?

I’m pasting this from the Acorn thread but adding one more prototype to the list that was not Acorn related.
Okay I’m covering the cost of Steve’s prototypes and will be sending them free of charge. I’m making 8 each of the mini and full size. The order is now paid and in with the shop.
Most of the prototype slots are filled but I have a few open slots.
Here’s the deal for my prototypes. I’m selling them at about a 34% loss in exchange for a handshake agreement that you test them out and provide feedback. No funds are due yet, looking for a commitment that once the protos are in and QA’ed that you then pay. These will be here in about a month or so.
Acorn mini prototype (solid copper mr85 responsive) will be $122 - 0 slots remain open.
Acorn prototype (delrin probably unresponsive c bearing) will be $152 - 4 slots remain open.
G-Wiz aka The G (delrin no jive compatible fixie) will be $110 - 3 slots remain open
Purchasing a prototype has some risk, they may not be as performant as you hope, or be a little rough around the edges the trade off is you get in much earlier and you get a unique version of it, plus if I’m never able to bring these to production you also have the only version to exist lol.
If anyone wants to enter the secret prototype lair dm me, first come first serve.

This is really just informational because I’m trying to be as painfully transparent as possible but since the titanium is quite expensive, I made the choice to not include bearings, axles, pads, cost of making the boxes, etc into the retail price. Similarly for the protos I didn’t count the custom axles I had to get made for the G Wiz that cost an arm and a leg.
When I do a run of the aluminum Tardy I will probably take more of those random costs into account then but I wanted y’all to have a price break on that expensive ti.
