Eastern Woods Research - a little blast from the past
- Thread starter MMcG
- Start date
a 29er version would be a sure hit and offer something different in a sea of sameness in the hardtail world.
Jay and I are actually working on the design for a niner frame (as well as a few other surprises). If all goes well, we'll have a niner frame out before spring. We'll try to keep you posted, but we have almost daily updates on the site. Check it out at www.EWRbikes.com
One pic accidentally got on the site last night of the proto in the jig....

Just a quick update for this thread. I got an email in my inbox this morning with the following information and I thought I'd throw it up here with permission given to me by the EWR folks:
The historic first production run of new '08 EWR Original Woods Bike frames is nearing completion, and will be going to finishing and paint next week. We are really excited as design and testing went better than expected, and the frames look great and ride like even better! We are releasing the first run of Medium and Large frames in Retro-Team Orange and Hot Damn Tamale White. This run only will come with retro, limited edition "Eastern Woods Research" graphics (all subsequent runs will be badged with our "EWR Bikes" logo).
To secure your purchase on this limited first run, we require $450.00 deposits on a first come basis. Please contact us via kenn@ewrbikes.com, or jay@ewrbikes.com for ordering info and status.
Figured it might be helpful to one or two of you Monkeys who've been following this thread.
Cheers,
Mark

The prototypes on the EWR site look mighty cool in my opinion. If you get to demo one - post your thoughts into this thread.
Will do. The riding around Allentown varies so much, these frames were almost, well, were, built to be able to ride such a varied terrain. I've been riding a hardtail up here since I moved up here, but according to Jay, for my size and riding style, I'll be able to basically make an EWR a "all-mountain" hardtail! I'm hoping hard and will for sure post up the rides.
X3pilot -
Don from EWR bikes here! Saw your posting about getting a demo ride on the new EWR and we're excited to get you on one as well.
You are correct that Jay is up in the Lehigh Valley; he is riding a medium that will be set up for dual slalom/aggresive trail riding. Our other partner, Kenn, lives in Montgomeryville and will be riding both a medium and a large, both set up for aggressive xc riding. You can contact them both through our website - www.ewrbikes.com.
(I'd offer to put you on my large xc woods bike, but I'm currently in central Georgia.)

Here's a look at one of the new EWR's - Jay De Jesus' own personal ride - mighty nice! 
I think that the Lehigh Valley crew here should have a nice demo day and give a thorough review to all
you should contact them to see if they can set ya up with a demo or two. Seriously.
Got some NE people here that would love to take a rip on one too...I don't wanna miss out on getting my paws on again this time around.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Well, I have been following this thread pretty closely over the past few weeks. I have a demo ready. I should have another ready this weekend (2/23). That will be one M, and a L.
I think we are ready to start demos. I've taken a few to a couple of my local shops and need to get them out to you guys and gals.
If you are really nice, and bring some micro brew, I might be able to talk Jay into letting you ride his M bike set up for DJ / DS. (don't tell him I said this though
)
If you are interested in demo'ing one, contact me through the website and we'll set something up.

By the way, we have tshirts for sale on the website now too.

Not sure about that comment.wish I could come across one of those frames, though
Hey brungeman, I know this is a while after-the-fact, but can you post that pic? I'm curious.....I just took a pic of one at Ray's a few weeks back... the pic is on my photobucket, but I can't even get to it cause PB is blocked at work... when I am home I will post it up!
Hey Kenn - lots of great buzz about the 29er protos! Way to go!
As in the Spooky?!?! I WANT. Tell me more.
