Don't see a close-up, but in the longer view, sure looks like a Weyless. I also recently bought a Kalloy model that someone had on sale really cheap. It appears very similar to the Weyless design also, but the logo is very large and the post has a matte silver finish, so I'm afraid that removing the logo may leave a visible mar on the finish. I think maybe this Kalloy model has been discontinued.
