Subframe on a play bike

[rubberneck]

Cleaning up my frame getting it ready to paint so i can finally ride this pig. My stocker was bent at one time and a poor attempt at fixing it was done by PO. They overheated it and it bulged where they bent it back. I can fix it with some time and tlc and you dont really see it anyway with the plastics on. Here is the thing it would probably be quicker to just build a new subframe though. I figure by the time i clean off all the old brackets and fix the damage, i could have the old bender out and be done. I was told that the drag guys use 3/4 by 0.058" chromoly. Is this sturdy enough for a duner bike. I really like the clean look of the aftermarket subframe, but dont want to have this thing break in the dunes with my ass on it. Should i just put the time in the stocker? What material would you guys use? I need to research the tubing and find out of they have a thicker wall than .058" or is that more than sufficient you think? What about going with some DOM mild steel? I know it is probably some metric size, but the stock subframe appears to be about 7/8" x .065". All opinions appreciated. thanks phil
