Invented? No. The fat ass is as old as time. But in our fine democratic tradition, it is we who have made it accessible to the masses.

Thats a good question. I read it on their newest ebay ad. https://cgi.ebay.com/sparton-track-fr...QQcmdZViewItem
But now the weight seems to have magically been taken out of the ad. I assume their reading this thread.
**** them and their ****ing anchor weight frames. The fact that they took that out now just makes this whole thing even more sketchy than its ever been.

I emailed the guy some questions. I hope his response convinces me to purchase the frame, I think it's sweet and I don't give a damn about the weight, I already have a super light frame.

Alright, it's clear this guy has a bunch of frames sitting around; why does he have it set up like a standard auction?
