If that is the case i think the easiest way to create tubes i would say is to extrude the profile to the width of the tube, then just round the corners off and shell it, not sure whether itll work on inventor as I havent tried it, but it worked on prodesktop when i used that.
The piping wizard seems to be more for linking two points together with a pipe.

I think this would work the best for this problem, with the least amount of time. In inventor, just extrude the square tubes, then just use the "fillet" tool to round them. You can even make fillets where the bikes tubes meet, creating something looking like fillet welds. Then to hollow the tubes out, just use the "shell" tool, set a tube thickness, and it hollows the whole thing out for you. Very easy this way.
