I asked Ray about these before he passed away and he said only made one for Randy Beavers, I believe. |

Ray offered it as a standard model. I've seen quite a few of them. |

I have talked to Billy and Brian - they have indicated that they do not know about a "Traveler Seat"
I was told that my Lite seat was the lightest weight seat available currently on the market.
I just talked to a guy today that looked at one. He tole me that there was only one made and that
Ray himself told him he only built one - I have talked to Billy and Brian about it both.

First let me say that I am not disputing anyone's word about what they were told or about what Ray may have said. I can only tell you that I have one, which I ordered from Ray right after I heard about the one he built for Randy Beavers.
It is a backless design and weighs 11.6 pounds (according to my digital bathroom scales).
I am offering it for sale on the forum, starting today. SOLD |
