Skoti:
Here's some 10mm tubing https://hardware-warehouse.co.uk/mild-steel-round-tube-10mm-1m

Can't think how it can be bent to shape without causing a flat tho?

Pipe bending spiral or something like that maybe?

Bryanj:
Plug one end and pack it with sand

Grewth:
I just ordered some 10mm dia solid mild steel bar off eBay.
Less than £10 for a metre including delivery.
Yes, using thin wall tube would be more accurate to the original design, and lighter too, but I'm not building a race bike, and the weight difference will be pretty insignificant IMHO.
I'll make myself a little bending jig, and heat it up before bending.
Using solid bar also means that I can weld the thing together at a decent current.
