Yikes.  I was going to suggest HiTech.  They built several mild steel FF
(Titans and Lolas all the same) sets for several of us in RMVR probably 4
years ago. As I recall they were $400-$500, but my memory is vague.  We did,
however, also spend the couple of hundred to then have them jet-coated when
they were still brand new.  All of them are still fine, almost like new,
including mine.  And I run 8-10 events per year.   Can't imagine how great
s/s must be!
