Stump up the extra cash for a MIG welder, stick is far too crude for thin walled bike tubes and harder to get the hang of.
M_A_X-
stick is...harder to get the hang of.
This is why I'm avoiding MIG, I've been told it's too easy so you don't learn anything from doing it.
Have done some Tig at the class now though and that's a whole different class to stick, would love to be able to practice Tig more often but will take some persuading for my folks to let me keep a tig setup in their garage I think.

Thanks for all the info.
I'm thinking I'll do this class then maybe buy a stick welder that I can use at my parents (there's no power in my garage) so even if I don't get to do this at the class it's definitely getting done soon.
Plan b for the class is either a trailer or a(nother) front rack.
