[...] Recently the Rat-Tail blog updated with a closer look at the Featherlite two frame. I personally am a big supporter of the original Featherlite frame, having bought four pairs, and just by looking at the picture of these frames I can see all the good things from the first have been brought over to the second edition. The new frame comes with the lite design we have come to love, but with a few new additions, the sickle bolts for so you can screw and unscrew with one hand, beveled edges, and a new plastic compound that is said to be harder, which can help speed up your grinds. The new frames come in three colors, the gray frame is the Erik Bailey pro model, the white frame is the Brian Aragon pro model, and the black frame is the Franky Morales pro model. Overall, the improvements are numerous and I am sure I will personally endorse this frame. To see the original post, and a bigger version of the picture above, go HERE. [...]
