Try a custom bike builder - motorcycle and / or bicycle (BMX - tandems). Some may refer to it as 'floval' 4130 CrMo. Look up some custom builder and call a shop foreman.
Well, tubing is tubing, I must admit some worry about it in terms of specification.

I have called several hot rod building kind of places in my area, they knew what it was and all, but didn't stock it and weren't really interested in getting some in just to resell to me.

I remain amazed, considering how many places I called in the US and Canada how had this stuff is to get. Odd part is, there are several places in the UK that advertise shipments within the EU, cut to length, several specs. I will be back home in Holland several times in the next year so it ought to be pretty straightforward. One of those trips may be to a wedding in the UK, might even just drop in and pick it up.

Thanks for all your help though....
