Standard vs. Custom Frame

Just think outside the box but inside the 28" X 38" X 60" rectangular prism and you may come up with a solution. - Pavan Dave [more]

Re: Standard vs. Custom Frame

For me it's not even a question. We have been doing 1/8" wall thickness welded aluminum box tubing frames for the past three years. Why? Because it is stronger, lighter, and more elegant, and will not fall apart over time like a bolted together frame. We do things with custom frames that are not possible or practical with the kit frame.
