hi guys,

i'm working on a bike project and are looking for "bridged" rectangular tubing for a swing-arm design.

I have been googling high and low and can't find a source in the US.

Any advise where I can get in the US or Europe?

Thanks,
dc

Extruded aluminum. Usually made to order for a specific purpose, like car bumpers.

You'll likely have to weld 2 normal stock tubes together.
