with the down tube gusset i would have thought it will be solid enough , at the very least no more bendy than an og frame , comparing the update shots to the first box tube shots i think it needed to be bigger any how even without the need to overcome the flex , looking forward to the next update

My thinking is, if the leverage could make one of the tubes crack at the weld then joining them together it would have to crack 2 tubes which is unlikely.
I don't want to risk doing just the rectangle , painting it then wishing I had fitted the gusset , the gusset is just a precaution.
Maybe it doesn't need it.

Great work, this is progressing nicely :daumenhoch:

I do too much thinking :LolLolLolLol:
I thought lets make the triangle match the rectangle.

There's nowt wrong with thought, just keep it to a minimum and keep this thing going.
I look forward to the updated instalments mate. :coolsmiley:
