Wow! I'm glad that's not mine! I tend to try saving them all too. you should look at the thread where I made the rear end for my Streamline, maybe some insights I could offer on frame repair...

definitely! I was leaning toward the yard art idea, but now back in the other direction. ideally I would like to cannibalize another frame. making chain stays from scratch isn't out of the question. I'm wondering how one would "oval" a round tube... gradually back & forth in a vice & hand finish w/ a file ?

for the chain stays, I would rob a lesser frame, round tubes, I have a roller. leave your frame intact until all the parts are made so you can use it as the master pattern.
