This is my plan for the racks on my 3AJ (and I believe it is a common solution):
I'm going to but the hoops from Touratech, since they're the hardest bits to make (and the Tour. ones are exremely strong and regularly shaped. I think they may even be double walled.
Next, I will get the rest of the rack syste, welded up (I have someone in mind), to fit with the off the peg hoops.
And then all I have to do is decide which boxes to use. Obviously Tour. are an option, but I have also heard good things (from Karim) about the xXx boxes he used. And then there are Swiss Boxes and those nice Tesch ones. Dunno yet.
But buying the hoops eases the trickiest part of the rack build. HTH, let me know what you decide...
