This past weekend the Dirt Rag hot air spy balloon was hovering over the M.A.S.S. Neshaminy race near Philly and spotted EWR’s very own Kenn Rymdeko putting a brand new OWB29er proto through its paces. Kenn ended up in fourth place, his best finish to date.

Before Kenn hit the races, EWR front-man Jay de Jesus had a chance to bag a ride on his very own 29er proto: ” The goal was to mimic the handling and heritage of the 26″ OWB (Original Woods Bike) on a 29″ wheeled platform, and the result is even better that I expected. I cannot believe how good it felt—so much so that I drove half of the way home with my helmet on before I realized it!”

That new bike feeling is intoxicating, so cut Jay a little bit of slack for crowing like an understandably proud papa. More information at ewbikes.com.
