My first gender reasignment. Update 3/3/09

[Boardtrack fan]

I got my new tubing roller (in the background) so, I thought for my first project I will start out simple and convert one of the many girls frames I have laying around. Started with a girls CWC frame and a newer Huffy I garbage picked. The tubes from the Murray look like they are going to be to short so now I need to buy some tubing.

Give us a heads up on how good or bad the tubing bender works. I want one if they work worth a flip. :lol:

I tried it with a piece of conduit (pretty easy to bend) and it seems to work. The rollers only go as small as 1"dia. though. I will let you know how it works with mild steel.

That was my question too! I have been so close to buying one a hundred times and always wonder if they work properly.

That's quite similar to the Hiawatha I did. When we scrap at the shop, we cut all the tubing out of the bikes now. It's nice to be able to make womens bikes in to mens bikes.

I really like what you do when you do do what you do. Really a great look of masculinity. Cool. Now I have an idea what I need to do to mine. Thanks

Yeah Sensor that is a Harbor freight welding cart. I think they are going to name a store after me! I really like where your Hiawatha is going Beau. I can't wait to see it with the tanks.
