I forgot to add at the end a very very large thanks to Doug Smith who has safeguarded the frame for me for the last three years - while I got my act together and some cash to pay for painting and shipping (which was exhorbitant in the end and the guaranteed four days delivery became closer to ten!!).
For those who haven't heard, Doug is doing well at home after having had a heart procedure this past week (I hope he doesn't mind me passing on this news).
