Hello again!
Finally I've got my tubes I've ordered to make this build
1500mm of CrMo beauty !!!
But I've run in another problem pretty fast :banghead:. It is impossible to find a place to bend them over here where I wouldn't have to get a mortgage.
So that's what I've came up with:
Basically it's the same lines, just instead of smooth curves I'll make some polygon approximation.
It will look kind of edgy
It'll take me to cut tubes at some angle and braze them together to create the "curves" I need.
That's what I've managed to finish today
As the polygon I've used to substitute circles has 18 sides I shall name this bike Octadecagon
ALL HAIL OCTADECAGON!

Very interesting and this method of shaping the tubes would work great with spider webbing interconnecting the tubes, I might have to try that in the future.

Nice improvising!
Are you cutting individual sections or just notching out little wedges and making the bend?

I'm cutting them in small pieces shaped like this /____\
Impressive jig!
Is that the one that was offered on KickStarter?
