      Hi everyone - sorry for the silence. My girlfriend's dad just passed away this week and we are here in the UK with her family. The final sample arrived in Amsterdam a couple of days ago but I'm not there to receive it. I will be posting the full update I promised during next week.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Hi Jay,

      Very soon! I got some preliminary photos from our manufacturer in Taiwan this morning, but I'm just waiting for them to finish painting a final piece before I send some final photos!! Sorry to dangle the carrot and have it drag on!

      Hi Adrian,
      Just wondering when your next update will be?
      "Molds are being made right now! I'll be posting an update next week with some more details and photos as soon as I receive some!"

      Hi K. Landry,

      Most of the delay has been surrounding the seat post itself - now that that is finalized we can get back to testing out some options for the chain version - I've been speaking with our lock manufacturer and he has had some concerns about lateral strength as they've tried the same type of chain before. More info in a future update!

      Adian,

      Any idea yet as to how the delays experienced with the cable InterLock will affect the anticipated delivery date-month of the chain InterLock?

      Thanks!

      Check what level you've pledged! I see you've backed at the early bird tier which means you'll receive a black one!

      HI again, how do you check what colour we picked. I cant remember. Thank :)

    12. Profilepic1_blk.small

      Creator Solgaard Design on April 10

      Yes, colour selection is complete! Shipping address and all of that will be asked for when we are closer to shipping.

      Creator Ritchie Shane Oliver Plunkett on April 9

      Hey, Im not to sure if this has been asked. But I cant remember if we have already chosen what colour? or is this closer to the shipping date?

      Cheers

      El Drijver - nope! It won't make any noise when in place - it's a nice snug fit that won't rattle :)

      Creator El Drijver on April 3

      So, the lock 'head' is not attached to the seatpost in any way when the lock is fully inserted in the frame right? Won't it it vibrate against the seatpost and create a ruckus on bumpy roads?

    16. Profilepic1_blk.small

      Creator Solgaard Design on March 28

      Matt - Yup, you can attach your Brooks saddle as long as it has the standard two seat rails.

      Mark - We will try and get it for you as soon as possible!

    17. Missing_small

      Creator Mark Goodman on March 28

      I am excited for the lock. I would guess it will be shipped now in the September October time frame. The Bike season for Minnesota is until end of September so I will use it in 2014. I just bought a new bike, now I have to buy a lock.

      Creator Matt Shore on March 28

      Hey, I am so excited to receive mine. I probably should have asked this before backing, though -- I'll be able to attach my Brooks saddle, right?

    19. Profilepic1_blk.small

      Creator Solgaard Design on March 28

      Ritchie and James - I've now just put an update in the updates section!

      Thanks El Drijver!

      Ledd - you'll put in your shipping address when I send out the backer survey when the product is ready to ship!

    20. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Ledd Lemmenes on March 28

      is there any way to change our shipping address?

      Oh wow! That's awesome! They look like they've done a good job of it!

      I actually have drawings for something very similar that I had been thinking about doing and launching later on this year on Kickstarter after we deliver The InterLock to our backers! :)

      It's so close! This is one of the best ideas I have seen in a long while and would take away my number one frustration in biking places: Having to carry and deal with my terrible lock! I told everyone I know at the SB party last night, and while not many are bikers, hopefully some might know people who would be interested. Under $2k left and 32 hours to go, I think there is a great chance we'll make it!

    47. Profilepic1_blk.small

      Creator Solgaard Design on February 4

      @Ben Matters - Yes, please add additional shipping :)

      @Martin - Early bird backers at the $29 level are for the cable version. Early bird backers for the $59 chain version are for the chain version. Thanks for the kind words!!

      @Dostro89 - We are going to meet with the manufacturers in two weeks and will keep our backers updated on what we find out!

    48. Missing_small

      Creator Dostro89 on February 4

      Out of curiosity have you decided what "other" material you will be including with the steel for the cable lock?

      Creator Martin on February 4

      Do "Early Bird Blowout Special" backers get to select from either the chained version or cable version? Or do we have to pay the difference to get the chain version? Thank you so much for your time. You have an awesome product. Keep pushing forward :)

      Creator Ben Matters on February 3

      In reference to Josef's question but as an international early bird backer, would I need to double the shipping costs as well? (to order a second one)
