Yesterday I got the tubing made for the main frame of the "Road Ruzter" (as Bruce calls it). I was a little nervous because the main tube has 2 bends that must be made on exactly the same plane. The guys at Midas did a great job, the bends are bang on! 3 of the tubes are 2" exhaust tubing and the 4th is 1 7/8" so that it slides inside the 2". This allows the pedals to be adjustable for the rider's height. I chose exhaust tubing instead of aluminum because I don't have any way to weld aluminum myself, even though it is much lighter.
The 2nd picture is the mock up with the seat frame.
