I'm leaning toward the Stanyan mostly on look and price but that one has an overly short HT. Don't see why they can't do something in the more average range.



I didn't know steel frame tubing came in larger sizes. I thought it was only aluminum that they could do the large oversized but thin walled tubes. Maybe it's just a weight thing. Oversized steel would probably be heavy.
