I don’t have any way to bend tubing and decent benders don’t look cheap for the limited times I’d used it
I've been using a £20 tube bender I bought off eBay. It's not ideal - the curve isn't entirely symmetrical and it does tend to put dimples in the tubing - but it's good enough for now.
I bought a similarly priced one but bent the bender when trying to use it on 8mm cromo tubing for a rack.
