I think that's the CX25 which is called the Black Widow and I think is discontinued. The retail at $650 or so was a bit steep if you ask me and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't selling well.cyrex said:I remember seeing a Schon Sneaky pete on eBay. What model are they? They must be very rare as I don't see them around anymore. I'm sure it was BEM and Ebony. Great post/pics you guys.
Me too dude, euro chicks are hot. I'm going to have to get my ass over to Prague one of these days.RunoutalloverU said:Other than that, it made me want to get out of the states and date some euro chicks.

LOL!!! Here we go again. The big problem is that the name "Ron" and the name "Sean" is pronounced differently depending on what State you live in.
So, on these sights, if someone says for example, "it's pronounced like Shawn," I can point to four different people from Texas (Hillbilly says something close to "shown" for Shawn Putnam), NYC (close to Shwahn), Chicago (Shaaaaaahn, with a nasal 'a'), and California (Shahn with no nasal), and they'll pronounce the name four different ways, each way rhyming with the four or five ways people might pronounce Schon Cues. LOL!!!!
What I do know is the Evan Clarke doesn't pronounce it the German way (phoenetically: ~ shern). He DOES pronounce it like someone from the mid-Atlantic states pronounces Shawn, but he doesn't pronounce it like my Chicago friends or NYC friends pronounce Shawn.
Yeah, it's that crazy.

I know how to pronounce it in German (the two or three different ways ,just like in the US with different words in different states). But, the German pronunciation isn't how Evan Clarke pronounces it. His company. He gets to pronounce it however he wants.RunoutalloverU said:See post 41....again

I asked him one time. I believe he pronounced it "Shawn". I always liked the "shown" pronounciation myself. I think it's just easier to say, although "Shawn" is the proper way.DougT said:I must've missed it, how does Evan Clarke pronounce it?
rhymes with Rome is how I pronounce it.
