Hello all, I know we've had our share of hard case discussions here before, but I just noticed the Samsonite F'Lite 31" Hardside Upright. It is a bit different...

Hello Richard, Have to confess I don't have a 14" gear - but sure fancy it! The last time I failed to ride more than 2/3rds the way up Winnats was on my...
