Framebuilding is my ultimate goal. I figured i'd do well to start with a smaller project like this. Plus for the prices they charge for a decent rack at Velo-Orange or Rivendell I can buy a Torch, Fuel, and a bender like this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=99826 for around the same amount.

I know thats not a top-of-the-line bender, but do you guys think it's good enough? Can you suggest one?

I did some reading last night and It sounds like I'd be best off with a MAPP torch rather than propane. Does that sound right?
