CW is legacy.
Stoked for Sal’s acquisition.
Hope he does something cool & faithful to the venerable heritage of the marque.

Stoked for Sal. I could not imagine listening to Jim and O talk over him for the duration of the podcast. It sounded like coke head Uncle Rico's.

CW had iconic handlebars back in the 80s BMX boom, there probably is a market for legacy reissues of their gear from their heyday. Good luck SLB.

S&M is for sale too right now... read somewhere that it was going for a little over a million dollars. but with covid & supply shortages its gonna take like 5 years of eating top ramen and switching to taiwanese mfg to even break even

Nah the owner talked about it on the unclicked podcast saying it was bullshit. Also pretty sure the whole reason people fuck with S&M is cause it isn’t shit Taiwan manufacturing so it probably would kill the brand.

Regardless Sal taking over CW is dope.
