In an effort to get some concentrated welding practice, I made 19 of these, one I built up already. Right now, they are tacked together.
 
That's frikkin AWESOME! Me n Ingola were just talking about how cool it would be to have one of those Champions. Then we checked eBay... o_O
 
getting near the end, took a while that car in the background of earlier pics has been taking up a lot of my time.

Doing the coaster tabs, brake bridge, and head tube gussets. Frames need to be re-straightened after welding. And I've seen a lot of improvement in my welding! According to frame building pundits, it takes 100 frames to get really competent, that last on of this run will make 47 TIG welded frames. So, a ways to go still. I will be selling them to answer the question, 300 bucks + shipping if need be.
