Well, you are almost exclusively going to be using a relatively thin wall gauge mild carbon steel. Really easy to find at nearly every steel supplier. They will usually custom cut lengths for you and it's not terribly expensive. They will have a good idea of what you need.
Easy, cheap.

thanx.
i will try it but the only steel tubes i found was black steel used for gas pipes and water instalations and another type was hydraulic pipes.
next week i will try some pipes of them for a swing bike but the walls are thick 2,5 mm.i'll see thanx again
