the tubes are way too highpoly, it can go with 12-16 sides and will look pretty much the same. Not sure how to change the number of sides of cylinder in blender, but i'm sure there is that possibility ;)

Also you don't need the triangles in the front of the frame, delete those, they will only cause headaches with the high poly.

Here's an example to help you understand how cylinders work in 3D programs:
Image
Looking from the side every cylinder looks obviously pretty much the same, you cant really judge a difference when a texture is applied later ingame.
When it comes to the top of a cylinder its the opposite, now its obvious that the cylinder isnt a perfect circle, the edges are clearly visible.
However, even when you see both viewports you see a nice looking pipe, but also how many edges the cylinder has...
In your case, i think 6-8 is the way to go. I hope this helps you understand this whole cylinder thing a bit better :)

Keep in mind the smaller the tube in diameter the less you'll notice the top view. You should be good with 8, like Andy stated.

I went with 8 on this one, thanks andy for putting that together and I got rid of the triangles in the front. I forgot to lower the number of sides on the cylinder that's above where the engine is supposed to be in these pictures.
Should I continue with this frame or start over? Thanks for the feedback and tips :)

I am aware of this, just distinguishing if you wanted the template and blend you would have to pay or atleast thats how it is for most people.
