A lower portion of the frame includes a pair of symmetrical lower frame members each having a lower end rotatably mounted on an axle extending transversely between and rotatably mounting a pair of wheels. An upper end of each of the lower frame members is secured to the lower clamp member by virtue of a fastener extending through a selected one of a plurality of apertures provided in a body portion of the lower clamp member such that the lower clamp member is selectively securable in pivotally and linearly adjustable position.
