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.

Looks interesting, but very heavy.

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

Well, it's rusting so...

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