Reply:You need a tubing notcher. You can buy cheap ones at HF which is fine for hobby building. If you plan to manufacture bicycles then you will need a much more powerful notcher.
Reply:The cheap way to do it is a hole saw style notcher- HF, or maybe a step up to the old joint jigger- www.dalewilch.comthis style uses a hole saw. the holes saws wear out, but are easy to find.Next step up goes up quite a bit in price- mittler bros and others make either milling machine style notchers, or belt sander style notchers- both run from 2 grand to 5 grand, but are designed for production work.www.mittlerbros.comlike anything else, you gets what you pays for.
