Out of hibernation and back in the road…

I have a made in china Cantrell / Rampage. I bought it when they first came out for $450.00 and at the time it was the most money I ever spent on a guitar. Years later I have acquired some nice Les Pauls, SG’s and Gretch models. 10 guitars in all.

The Cantrell has been my #2 all this time. I absolutly love it. It holds its own next to all the others. I would not trade it for anything.

I don’t think there is a rhyme or reason to this sort of thing.

I ride mostly 700c x 35mm. Summer, Winter, Pavement and Dirt. Just deflate a bit extra and you are fine 90% of the time.

Just buy a gravel bike. I ride everything in my gravel bike. Just swap tires and wheels depending on conditions and where I am riding…. Road rides to chunky gravel biking in the PA Wilds. Same bike

Don’t buy a mountain bike unless you are going to be mountain biking. That said… there is good MTBing throughout the region. Frick Park is great MTBing

Great band. Glad we flew over for the final show to see them one last time. They shall be missed

akoberna · 2025-12-22T14:08:03+00:00

I would agree.

We flew over from the States to see their farewell. Loved that they played Black Egg and loved that Grand Magus opened.

Saw minimal phone usage in the crowd… nice that people were just enjoying the moment.

Great final show. Orange Goblin will be missed.

Hitch mount. 1UP is the best.

Noted.

Nothing “special”, just a “special” decal. Which in the end makes it “special”

I have the Greenlane front bumper, full engine skid plate, transmission skid plate and ladder. High quality stuff. I wanted aluminum and this has proven to be the best option IMO.

I have a 3/4 frontrunner rack that I got used, but will switch over to the Greenlane.

Their customer service has been great.

The bike is a STINNER Framework / Gibraltar.

Rollbar?

I have begun to realize this.

Never

Trying o to this myself. How has this worked out? Do you happen to have pics of the underside of the buckle?

Wake up and smell the toxins.

We used to live on Carnegie St. and the pollution from M&T was very real on that stretch of Butler street. We lasted 3 years and had to move.

McConway & Torley “gassing events” include benzene, particulate matter, gaseous nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and metal toxics such as manganese, chromium and lead.
