Picked up the 950s last night. They are a little shorter than I wanted, but I can make them work. Remember, this isn't a speed machine or hardcore downhiller. Found a source for 4130 through an aviation supply house. Now if I could just find it locally. Downside, they are lugged frames. Upside, the lugs are thicker and easy to weld to.
Anyone know what the wall thickness of the Trek double butted tube is? I have a friend with some 1.5"OD .125" wall 4130 left over from a rollcage. I'm guessing this is going to be too heavy. But if I used it, it would be SOLID!!!! Looking for some tube about half that thick, and 1.25" OD...
And I've been in touch with Matt (built the tandem in the link above...). Good guy and good info.
