Still developing them. I reckon you'd probably have to do about 50 at a time to get it to £500. Lot of money to invest in one product.
£500 is the price of a decent crank or a kit, i think people would buy them.
I will pay upfront if they are garaunteed to be ready for next summer, between me and paul we will have three.
only 47 to sell ???

I was talking to Mark earlier and has been in discussions with the gearbox manufacturers. He has done his testing this year with his five speed gearbox and is very pleased, he's having some more gears made to make gear jumps even better than before............... then if enough of you put your names down, he may put them into production and under £500........ made in the UK! Or he may just keep them for himself and let us have the super sliding adjustable 4 speed close ratio box that is also under testing.
