i bet the fittings are worth more than the bike.R.O.F.L.
i did see a programme recently where a plumber was using his motorbike for work,tooled up and all that,the police who pulled him over were not too impressed though

Ingenious!

I recently bent a piece of 22mm for a shower rail. Customer was really chuffed - and I was too - 3 bends and only 1mm out and ended up totally flat when laid on the floor - fluke!

if it were i, i would consider remaking the whole bike with 28mm and guttering for the mud guard.
good rolling add.
i started of as a pipe welder at ralliegh bikes, not much difference.

I did get a funny look from the guy at the plumb centre when I turned up on a push bike and bought 3 metres of tube!..

(sliced it in half and strapped it to the top tube)

i remember when all the gas board fitters had push bikes to go out doing the small jobs these were the days before flexi,s on cookers and they were hard piped wasnt unusual for a cooker to have several nipples and socket joining it as they didnt like having to thread anything
they actuallly had a pipe vice fitted on the bike and a small set of stocks and dies in the panniers and a couple of 4 foots of barrel strapped on the cross bar
