New tubes minibikeframe arrived

I am new to fabricating mini frames but I'm going to do it what kind and size of tubes should I buy to make a large frame mini and is there a good online source?

I understand DOM tubing is more accurate than cold rolled, but how accurate? I assume close enough for steering head and bronze bushings, but will a bearing fit inside close enough? Thinking of building a hub and I don't have a lathe. Having problems finding a premade hub with a 4 on 4" bolt...

Don't know if anybody is in the market for a bender but I thought I would post this in case someone was considering one. Bottom-line pricing on Woodward Fab WFB2 at ToolTopia.com I have a JD Squared that I have had for 25 years. Cant beat it. Doug

Hey guy's What type of tubing are you using to repair/ lengthen/ modify your frames, wall thickness and where can it be purchased. Getting ready to modify one of my frames, someone at some point cut and removed a two inch section of the back bone. I decided to stretch this frame to make a drag...

Not sure what these were intended for -- maybe a bicycle, but I won't use them. New, never used or mounted. They're 32" wide, and 13.5" tall. 7/8" tubing The chrome is in perfect condition save a little marring on the end of one side, but it will be covered by the throttle/grip. EDIT...

What size is the fuel inlet tubing on this carb? How do the copies compare to the so-called genuine ones. Are they all made in China? Do the jets fit both? Thanks Greg

Howdy All, I was messing around and came up with this die to flatten 1/2" Pipe and 3/4" pipe. I don't use tubing much as I have access to a lot of free pipe that is seamless schedule 80:thumbsup:. 1/2" Pipe is .84" O.D. as compared to 7/8" tubing which is .875 and that's close enough for...

I have the opportunity of getting chromoly tubing for next to nothing. Would this be good for building a mini bike frame ? Pro's and Con's ? Welding or Tig only ? Help ??

Well, so far I've got a small collection of parts for my new build but (oddly enough) no tubing. At this point I'm beginning my search for a decent tubing bender. The most likely suspect seems to be the JD Squared Model 3. Does anybody out there have any experience with this? Any opinions...

I kind of doubt I'm the first mini biker to think about this, but here goes. I figured out a way to sand tubing without creating any flat spots. I took a block of aluminum and drilled a hole in it about .930 in diameter. I wanted to sand 7/8" tubing (7/16" radius=.437). The hole I drilled...
