How does the stainless you are using compare to the mild steel of the previous frames in tensile strenth and yield? Being in the metal working field myself, I know the general public thinks SS is better than mild steel, when in reality it is not as strong (depending on the grades). SS is tougher, a lot TOUGHER!! and harder to machine, but it welds great.
I really like what you have done with the frame. If it is worth doing in $$$ and strength then I say go for it.
