well,you really dont HAVE to bend either of them,if you have access to a welder then just weld pices together to make a frame

To bend you need a tubing bender ($$$) or a pipe bender ($). If you've got a budget, I'd build a frame w/o bends and put that money into more parts.

Plus, tubing is way cheaper than pipe these days, so you'll be saving money on that too.
