C'mon Johnny quit your justifications and rationalizations and go learn to weld. Booger welds are ok if you not trusting your life to it, but if my ass is on the line, I want a decent weld thank you very much.
If there's any place a decent weld is required it's on an alt bike. I'd hate like hell to be on top of a tall bike and have the frame turn to matchsticks because some lhacksaw wizard figured out how to make sparks with an arc welder and that sometimes those sparks left little globs of metal behind... Ooops, sometimes it makes holes too. Oh well the metal is kinda stuck together, let me see if I can make another glob over here, that should do it.
I appreciate alt bikes just as much as the next person, I've built them too. Don't be hatin' safe metal joinery.
Johnny = 0, Pragmatic safety = 1 :
How'd you like this to happen to your front wheel at speed?
