I got to ride the bike a LONG time ago at an event in Palo Alto at the Also facility. I was a little disappointed in the feel. Then I went back to Palo Alto this week to the research park and got to ride it again. Felt different, although the bike I had was making a grinding sound. Fortunately I then went to the Fort Mason test ride and the bike there was magnificent, and really has me excited to get my Launch Edition.
