I am really interested in the lightfoots. Would you be willing to send pics to my email? I also wasn't able to find any info on the web about this model. Can you tell me any more about them?
 
Unfortunately I don't see any private message. I have seen a lot of remarks about PMs being sent that aren't getting out. Please feel free to email me at slapback1 (at) yahoodotom.
 
If someone can reach out to an admin about the seller being absent, maybe they can make a determination on whether or not this post should be taken down. He hasn't responded to anyone that I can see, he can't be PMd and this post should probably be deactivated. Just my 2¢.
