Yes, Mike made it. I'm not sure why it was so rusty when we got it (it was only surface rust, not much really). My conjecture is Mike's shop is in Torrance, California and it "fogs" pretty much every morning and makes things damp. Mike is so packed in for space that every morning he moves stuff outside. The fog probably rusted it.

I really didn't care about the rust...I just wanted Mike's chassis to confirm measurements from our other frames we had.
