I've built two cannons out of iron pipe, they are amazing. The pipe isn't terribly expensive, for 1'' diameter pipe it is less than 10 dollars for a four foot length and around $1.50 for each connector. Obviously the connectors have different prices, but you should probably expect to pay around $1.50, just to be on the safe side.

It's fairly cheap, but obviously not as cheap as PVC. What are your building?

i actually wanted to use it to build a frame for a mini bike, just contemplating my options and weighing the cost.

Iron is pretty cheap, but also very heavy, so it's probably not the best metal to use as a frame. You can get steel tubing very cheaply at metal scrap yards too.
