Actually, it feels, stripped down, about the same as any other Champion #2 frame
I've had. this is great for me, because as a heavyweight, I need at least a #2 to feel confident.


I went ahead and stripped it down, because from the outside you
could kinda tell there were some corrosion issues....and those continue
to develop if ignored. I figure I'll clean it up, treat inside with a couple of coats of this stuff,


And then put it aside to dry thoroughly on the inside of the tubes prior to reassembly.

Also, as you might expect, the seat tube is a little stuck, so I'll pour some magical
ammonia up in there from the BB side and try to free it up in a couple of days.


Here are some pictures:
