Next to fabricate are the two downtubes (grey vertical pieces in the picture link below) and the two bottom rails (also grey in the picture). My question is this: What is the best way to fabricate these - one piece or two? Perhaps it comes down to how accurately can one bend tube. I will be taking my tube pieces to someone who can bend it (what kind of place/business will usually do bending?). Can they make the two bends in the bottom rails - i.e. the 90 degree bend between the downtubes and the bottom rails and the 45 degree bend at the rear of the bottom rails - accurate enough to do each rail in one piece of tube? Or would it be best to make a joint somewhere along the bottom rail to allow some adjustment for getting both rails exactly the same lenghts/positions?

Does my question make sense? I hope I am clear what I am asking!
