Yes, that thing is a piece of work! Okay, Uncle Stretch, here's the plan . . . I will start saving some money so we can go in on one of those benders. We'll split the cost fifty/fifty. I'll have my half of the cash when i'm around 136 years-old, how 'bout you? :lol:

Actually, the info I found here is interesting . . . http://metalgeek.com/archives/2005/05/01/000047.php

You are correct Sernlan! Thanks for sharing. I just added that calculator to my favorites list. 8)
I need to buy a printer cartridge before I will be able to use it :roll:

The guys were talking and they have benders kinda like that one and they were saying they thought ..over $200,000 .
So even on a group buy it will take us a while.

No problem. We just rent time on one long enough to make a single quarter-million dollar bicycle frame. 8)
