I have an idea for a bike related product that requires a frame being made from thin light alu tubing. I guess you can't just bend it like you do with copper pipes...?

EDIT come to think of it, even if I make a prototype, how do you get people to make it short of going on dragon's den?

And I've told you before that the rack-mounted camper is a non-starter!!

making it is the easy bit - selling it is the time consuming costly bit

Well I googled and discovered that these things already exist. Then I discovered they cost a ruddy fortune for what they are so maybe there's hope yet.
