I had a go at stick welding many years ago at college. my problem is I have no workshop space!! I have a Moulton Mini build on the go but having a little builders block!! Also got my eye on a frame on evil bay for a cycle speedway style build.
 
I really like your frame style! It reminds me of a sectioned hot rod where the body is cut down horizontally cool! Are you adding seat stays ?
If not it may fold at the bottom bracket attachment.
A couple of tubes from where the center tube meets the seat tube to the center of your arched chain stays might be enough. You could give them the same arch as the chain stays just down.

Oh yeah I've got the same problem cos I live in a flat so I've got to take everything to work. What's a Moulton Mini sounds cool. If there's anything I could help you with let me know. I love the speedway looking bikes

Like a chop top lol. Thank you. Na I'm not going to add seat stays I welded everything to the bb and the bottom tube. I propped up the head tube and stood on the seat tube and jumped up and down and looked at all the welds and there was no cracks. And it didn't bend so I'm happy with that really I'm not going to take it off road only going ride it on the weekends to work to taking the dog for a run. I'll keep a eye on it tho and if I see any cracks I'll put some seat stays on. Thanks mate :)

Moulton Mini is a small version of a classic small wheeled British bike. Designed by the late Sir Alex Moulton. Interesting little bikes.

That's one of the newer models, which also runs 16" wheels. Mine is a 1960's model which was built 7/8 of the full size version and runs 14" wheels instead of the usual 16" wheels. The idea behind it was to be a better size for children to ride & also for the average height woman from that era. Some had hub gears etc but mine is a single speed. Some pics of it in my thread here: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/unkown-year-moulton-mini-ideas-welcome.82540/
