I like the analogy, pup with his ears up. [emoji2]

I was thinking down until I actually had them on a frame, then agree with the up votes as well.

How did you bend those bars? Did you use a torch? Looks very cool.

 

[metalchewy]

Filled them full of sand, masked off the ends to keep them that way. Then used the vise, a 2" pipe and a 1" pipe, heated about a 4" wide patch (rose bud with oxy/acetylene), and used the 1", to bend the bars around the 2". Slow cool, so less brittle.

Seat tube was catchingnrust down the tube and only going in a couple inches... ground on ut a bit and forgot to put the wet paper towell on the paint before I started...

I like Corinthian leather, but don't need my paint to be textured like it.
