Stainless Steel Tubing

[Fat Cat]

I am looking for some 1" OD Stainless tubing with a wall thickness of at least .065". I need 2 pieces 36" long. I am not above having it shipped. I found some at Mcmaster-Carr but I was wondering if anyone had some places with a better deal or a wall thickness more like .090".

Hummm wat ya making ? Ive got a bunch of stainless tubing at work. They gave it to me. I used it for 4 bars on rear of the 30. I cant remember what the od is or the wall thickness. but the id will take a 3/4 fine thread. They worked great on the 30. Ill check the od tomorrow..
Its free and if you want we could meet some place. I think also they are 5 ft lengths. Any way fore we get too crazy ill check it out and post or email ya tomorrow after i get home. If it will work you will probably have to meet me cause im sure ill only let  ya have at least 2 of em But if it helps ill cut the lengths ya need at work..

I am building a set of forks for a bicycle. The headset I have was setup for 1" OD tube and really can't be opend up. If it is a little smaller than 1" I could make it work but I wouldn't like to use 3/4" for forks.

I could make that work. Most of the stuff I have been looking at is 1" OD .065 wall. So the thicker wall would make up for the reduced diameter. Let me think about it and I will get back to you.
