In reference to building with conduit, There is a guy in the Denver Cruisers that built a long flat cruiser made from electrical conduit. I remember him saying the welding was pretty toxic so be sure to wear some protection. I believe there is a picture of his bike used as the main picture for the Denver Cruisers on Myspace. I believe his name on myspace is the kustom kid. His real name is John, he may be able to tell you more about his bike. He also made his own tank with a bladder and sippin straw. good luck
 
I have used conduit before, as far as cleaning off the galvinized coating soak it in muratic acid (usually found at pool supply houses) this will remove the coating and allow it to be weldable without the toxic fumes.
I told you to never bother me while I am working in my lab!!!
