I haven’t seen that either. If you buy it get us dimensions. I took screen shots, so I could fill in the numbers. 

Dave, we need to get Les to copy that.

Perhaps not so heavy if aluminum or titanium tubes were used.

It looks like its from the digger days of chops. Race inspired for sure.
Cool piece

Well, it's rusting so...

The design could be copied in a different material though (I assume that's what you meant.)
