****. I had a really long post prepared with the idea behind my project, but the forum was idiotic (or maybe I was) and lost it for some inane reason. Basically what I want to do is create what I'm calling "Daft Bike" that will have LEDs on the wheels and frame, speakers, an iPhone/iPod hookup, and sophisticated pre-animated programs and music visualizers. I imagine the project is going to take a little while. For those here who want to suggest Monkeylectric, I've seen what they have, and it isn't nearly to the level that I want. I also don't like the physical design of their unit since I want the light show to be entirely concealed until I turn it on. I wanna roll up to some event with just kind of a funky looking bike, maybe even get some condescending stares, and then flip on a switch and watch the jaws drop to the floor.

By the way, I'm looking for a bike frame that has very straight, thin tubes all around with constant-area circular cross-sections even on the chain and seat stays and fork (steel preferably). It will be easiest for me to attach a superstructure to this sort of frame. Does anyone know of anything like this, so I can narrow down my search?
