Where is a good place to get rails? As far as round ones go i was thinkin street sign poles and the poles across the tops of fences (they can come in lenghts of like 30 ft), but is there any easier place to get them (home depot sels only up to 10 ft). And where is a good place to get a flat bar?

if u've got a bus station/loop near ur house and a truck u could take a hack saw to the handrails... thats wut i did, but then i lost it when we were driving from cops :P and as far as flat bars go, i have no idea. try like a junkyard.

10 foot poles are easy to get, sears hardware sells them for like $10, but i just got mine from street signs (poles). How much do the metal suppliers charge? And as far as welding your own, do you grind it down a ton or how do you make it smooth?

just go to a scrapyard or local town dump. they usally have a metel pile waiting to get thrown out, and they will gladly give it to you. dont steel that can only get you in trouble. specially street signs, thats a misdameener.

hey, didnt steal the street sign, i was walking up from my bus stop and saw a street sign pole that a new development had tossed in the woods without a sign on it because the replaced it with a wooden sign. The pole was very nice because it is a new development, so i couldnt resist, they were just going to toss it out anyway. I was wondering if they were stainless because i dont have apowerful enough welder to weld stainless steel.

www.straightlingrails.com, good luck spending under 500 bucks tho, that is true for any other rail company for that matter.

someone stole two rails from the whistler/blackcomb lot 8...they were beginner flatbars and now they have to use the money that was going to build a huge wall ride for the highest level. So we get screwed...they said if the rails get returned by nov. 3rd they wont press charges, but if they catch you with one later they will...
