Right enough chat about EWR's :roll:

Never enought EWR chat, my friends! Never Enough! :shock:

Of course, I may be biased.

I'm voting for the Fat SAB though. That's a nice looking bike, one of my clubs drool targets when it arrived on the scene. AMPs had a huge folowing in my club at the time, and the forks were everywhere. The EWR even had a chrome legged F-1, which of course really made the thing look like a bird-cage! :shock:

I think we should give extra credit to folks who have owned their vintage rides since new. That stupid little 'VW' sticker on the downtube of the EWR?...covers a dent and bad chip that I gave the frame in week 2 of ownership! Week 2!! I was disgusted with myself. I had no business trying to hop into the back of that parked pick-up truck at speed. What was I thinking!? :shock:

I'm not complaining, I'm excited to get the votes I did, and hell, I'm not even voting for myself those other options are so nice! The Grove, The Homegrown Ruthie, I dig 'em all! (I'm a little Kleined out though. :cry Still, there are a good many stories on the board about guys who've owned their stuff for eons and wouldn't ever let it go. I dig that.


What a spread of bikes, you all should be commended as there are 20 bikes lined up every month on this board and they all are amazing machines to oggle!!

If i hadn't ridden a set of AMP forks a few years back, then Dr S' SAB would have nailed it :roll:
So based on the bike i would want to own, Carstens Attitude.
I'd also mention Jez's Yo with the 2 above, cracking month

Flouro Grove for me.

Dr S's SAB - and not just 'cause the forks were mine

It'll be the closest I get to BOTM :roll:

Thanks guys, will be "second place, first loser" this month for me I guess
the SAB is a dedicated build though, very nice (and hard) work I assume.... as the Grove was just a lazy pick-up from my side
:roll:

 

[Defiant]

getting over 20 percent with this many great entries (22) is quite the feat....looks like everyone got at least one vote.
