Cobra Framebuilding's video: Buying Tubing and Materials for a Hardtail MTB Frame Build

Buying bicycle tubing and raw materials is not my favorite step of building a bicycle frame, but it's gotta get done, and there are some helpful tips I can share on the subject. Today I show the websites where I buy straight-gauge 4130 chromoly steel tubing for bike frames, as well as more specialized materials for bicycle frames, including machined headtubes, bottom bracket shells, cable guides, dropouts, and seat collars.
