when i went to mk last year i took my zx along,i was talking to another radster who was from up north/midlands(as most are) about cw and he said i dont remember cw bikes from back in the day,only the bars!!i think as i live in the south and only 30 miles from where hot wheels bike shop used to be(they were the uk importer of cw) every kid had one around my way,i think cw was definately a brand more familiar with us southerners,up north alans bike shop was the main man so they were into their torkers and robinsons,i think this is why the cw's arent very popular $:-\$
