In Civia news, we're in the final stages of prepping frames and components to being assembly of complete bikes.  Our first shipment has been spoken for, meaning our established dealer base will be getting the first complete bikes.  Our second shipment will arrive in mid-May, which will allow us to have a late May/early June general availability of complete bikes and accessories.

Last year on April 15, we started the brainstorming process to determine what our first complete bike would be.  Now, one year later, we're delivering product.  It's been quite the last 12 months...
