Probably too late - it ends in two hours - but I thought someone out there might just be interested in this Empella frame, listed on UK ebay. The guy is offering delivery to the States for £36 - not sure how he's managing that - but it looks like a seriously nice bit o' kit (to my admittedly very untrained eye).
