I'm curious: Are there any examples of a crowd-funded performance bike that came even close to making good on its promises, or was even close to being competitive in its price range?
I'm currently riding a Volagi Viaje as my gravel bike - began as a Kickstarter, spun off as a fairly successful independent marque. I did not buy it new, so I can't comment on its value at retail price, but for 2013, remarkably foresighted: disc brakes, clearance for 700x42, full fender mounts, BB standard that is adaptable (386). I haven't found a reason to replace it yet, and that's saying something!
