princess pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/12 15:38 i've got a few sheets of pegboard sitting around.

smaller dia. hole sheets are 2x4 ft. i think i have 4. maybe 5. i've also got a bunch of hooks and crap. this stuff is what i used to setup my work are for my bikes.

larger dia. hole sheets are anywhere from 4x4 ft to 5x6 ft. i have over a dozen sheets. some are white finish. some are black finish.

i also have a box full of hooks somewhere, i think.

the larger stuff is all from a store remodel, so it's used and some of the corners might not be perfect, but hey, it's cheap!

mattd Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/12 19:35 I would be interested in 2 of the smaller diameter sheets if you still have them.

mattd Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/13 12:40 Yeah, I would take some hooks. How can I get the stuff from you? Hopefully it will fit in my car.

princess Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/13 23:35 Matt,

your best bet now is to either hope i have some room when i swing into town next or to have someone else who's making a run to pick stuff up bring it back down that way.

but, if you wanted to make the drive to inbreederville, it would most certainly fit in your car.

princess Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/14 18:05 lol, i'm near bradford. it's chock full o' inbreeders around here, lol. my niece had a friend over and honest to goodness, she explained how her dad divorced her mom and shacked up with her aunt, so the resulting offspring were this girl's siblings and cousins at the same time. not to mention the dad/uncle angle. i've got people headed your way, i can send the stuff for you with them.

mattd Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/14 18:45 That would be great. Because as much as I would like the pegboard I'm not sure I'm willing to drive to Bradford to get it.

Demon of the Fall Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/15 10:24 Bradford is surrounded by alot of beautiful and awesome areas like the Allegheny National Forest; Kinzua Dam; Allegheny State Park, NY; Ellicottville, NY; Holiday Valley and Holimont Ski Areas. There are many excellent places to ride, hike, ski, camp, hunt, fish, boat, etc.

I don't know much about the locals that Princess speaks of. But, I do know there are plenty of great places to play in the outdoors.

Bradford is also the home of Zippo lighters and Case knives. Bradford emerged in the late 1800s as a Pennsylvania oil boomtown and it still is a big producer and refiner of petroleum today. There is an active oil well at the McDonalds in Bradford. It was also the home of Hall of Fame baseball player Rube Waddell.

Bradford has a Pitt branch campus. Bradford is almost always the coldest spot in Pennsylvania on any given day of the year. Read more about Bradford here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford,_Pennsylvania

princess Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/15 11:13 all very true things, pontz. but if you take a moment to sit and people watch at the said mcdonalds, you'll find the local residents i speak of.

i'll be the first to tell you that there are unquestionably good people in bradford and the surrounding areas. i have a very large family, some of whom would qualify, others not so much. i've dated a few delightful young women in the area, and i've had the pleasure of making friends with plenty of truly good people over the years.

but sadly, these people area strongly outnumbered here.

in my mind, bradford is in an area where it is a victim. i've seen firsthand the city workers who are truly trying to make the town a nice place to live. i've seen the people in the forest service try to make it a nice area to recreate. i've seen normal people like you and i try to help out in their own small ways. but so the area continues to leach the efforts of these said people to support an excessive population of white trash miscreants and welfare abusers. some of them are on their 4th generation of handouts going all the way back to the bust that inevitably followed the oil boom you mentioned.

said bust also severely impacted the surrounding woods. on our shop rides we would head off the hill and back to town on the only singletrack within 20 miles and the woods themselves have a perpetual reek of oil. it is more common to cross abandoned pipes and sucker rods than it is to cross fallen logs.

if the area were mainly populated by people who genuinely cared, all those positive aspects you mentioned would be at the forefront of the city of bradford and its surroundings. as it is, you only have to find my review of FLOW magazine to see how i've witnessed it for the past 30 years. until bradford sweeps aside the trash riddling the area it will suffer the fate of disgrace.

herrhaus Re:pegboard, etc. - 2009/10/16 09:13 I like the smell of crude.....but everyone knows I'm weird. Chuck Norris once broke the land speed record on a bicycle that was missing its chain and the back tire.
