e-man, that looks like a fairly high end production welder. Unless you are opening a shop, it may be overkill.
What kind of bikes do you want to make? I don't think the xmt does aluminum. For steel, you don't need to spend that much.
for aluminum bikes I would look at a synchrowave 250. That's what I have. It can weld almost anything to almost anything, but is relatively slow compared to mig. For steel framed bikes, a smaller DC tig welder be fine. For bumpers (1/8 to 1/4 mild steel) an all in one mig (millermatic) would be cheaper and faster.
Plus, the synchrowave 250 has been made for many years. Although I bought new because I didn't know anything about welders, I am convinced that these machines could be bought pretty cheap used.
