I'm looking to build a light weight machine. The frame will use 1 inch tubing as backbone then between the backbones it'll use 1/2 inch tubing (kinda like a girder or truss) with no bottom tube. It'll have a swing arm that'll be a cross between a mtn bike and a motorcycle. Itll have a 16 in cycle tire on the rear and a 24 in bicycle tire for the front.

Design looks okay. Strength will depend on your welding skills. Just remember, on a motorized bike, stronger is better.

Respectfully, if you have to ask based off a scribbled picture maybe you should pick up a book on statics and metallurgy first and gloss over them before considering the task.
