I talked to Simon again today. He's probably buying the 10 prototype
frames back from the rep who never repped, and he thinks he can update
them and put the new harnesses on and be able to sell them for a
discount (email me privately). He would be more predisposed to sell
those discounted ones t
Here's a short video of Brunka gaiting at liberty today - again, not an optimal

I'm sorry, Lorraine. If it makes you feel any better,
