![]() Accessory bags Revelate Designs Mag-Tank.Tires Maxxis Rekon 2.4″ (front) / Maxxis Ikon 2.2″ (rear).I love this step, as it allows me to understand how it works and to manage its maintenance and repairs. When it arrived, I assembled it in one day to try it as soon as possible! This is my second Stooge and my second time assembling a bike. I spent the year looking at the boxes containing the parts without being able to build the bike. I ordered it almost a year ago, but the production was delayed because of the pandemic and the hectic bike industry. I dream of visiting Spain by bike, and Morocco, and also the American West, which is full of references for me as landscape photographer. It was a challenge because of the weight, but I’d like to buy a small camera to document my travels, around my home or in faraway places and maybe one day collaborate with the bike world. On this occasion, I carried my medium format photographic equipment on my new Stooge Rambler. When I am on my bike, I use my phone as a notebook. In general, I only photograph landscapes and human beings for my artworks. Sometimes I also follow my cycling friends on longer rides. Sometimes my wife accompanies me with her old mountain bike to have lunch in the woods. I am not a competitor but rather a dreamer. First mountain biking, then road cycling (which I didn’t like for many reasons), then I discovered gravel, which I love! I am rather solitary, and most of my outings are done alone, around my home in Corsica or in Aix-en-Provence. Don't forget what a blast to drive this is- ram air 390 with a 4-speed and posi in a little Rambler! This car is certainly is not going down in value.I’ve been cycling all my life. It includes a nice framed presentation of the SC/Rambler Hurst. It certainly creates conversation wherever it goes. ![]() This is one of the rarest, most exciting muscle cars built.

Today it is an exciting car and highly sought after. ![]() The car needed to be it's own billboard so it was given a wild appearance that was at the time considered obnoxious. At the time there wasn't much budget for AMC to promote. With the help of Hurst performance they created a car that could blow the doors off some pedigreed muscle cars. The typically very mundane Rambler Rogue was their car of choice. Easy, stuff a big motor in a compact car. Only 1,512 built total, ever! AMC wanted a musclecar to compete with the big three automakers.
