I was doing this research myself and figured it’d be worth sharing with y’all as well. Pricing out 6’ (72", 1.8m) sections. Online Metals price includes their 15% discount.

1/2" (12.7mm) x 0.035" (0.9mm)

  • McMaster-Carr $36.84
  • Aircraft Spruce $28.80
  • Online Metals $46.08
  • Wicks Aircraft $30.96

5/8" (15.9mm) x 0.035" (0.9mm)

  • McMaster-Carr $37.16
  • Aircraft Spruce $29.70
  • Online Metals $48.53
  • Wicks Aircraft $31.14

3/4" (15.9mm) x 0.035" (0.9mm)

  • McMaster-Carr $38.35
  • Aircraft Spruce $45.00
  • Online Metals $40.05
  • Wicks Aircraft $52.32

S&H for 1 of each size (to Pittsburgh)

  • McMaster-Carr $31.38
  • Aircraft Spruce $42.94
  • Online Metals $36.46
  • Wicks Aircraft $36.38

Any other spots that are worth investigating? I’m getting quotes from some more local sources as well, but not hopeful that they’ll have much in the thin wall thickness.

I think you got them all. I usually go to online metals since I have a friend that can pick it up and bring to work. It was the cheapest option since there was no shipping.

Drive from Pitt (let’s go Rangers). To Wick the on the way back camp and ride at raytown lake. Great riding. Hit up Roth rock in stat college also.

Make a trip out of it.

Dang that sounds like a fun trip! I don’t have a car but maybe someday I’ll do that journey on a cargo bike.

Another vendor for 4130 tubing. Similar prices on USA or German tubes. Call them with your order to avoid surprises on out of stock items.
