This listing includes one NOS Old School Champion 20” BMX Frame and Fork Set in a beautiful Candy Red as shown.

This frame and fork were made with NOS parts and finished in the same powder coating colors as the Original Champion bicycles back in the early 1980’s.

Also decals are all 100% authentic.

This is the first set in a limited run.

Get the Champion bike you’ve always wanted.

Measurements:

Total Length: 34 1/2”, Top Tube: 18 ¾”, Down Tube: 18”, Seat Tube: 12 ¼”

All frames are built to the exact original specifications with all original tubing including 1" head tubes - identical to 1982 bike.

Hope they stamp them like Skyway with an additional year 2014 stamp to indicate they have been assembled recently.

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on January 16, 2014, 08:31 PM: It appears they are building them with old stock tubing and BB's, powdercoating them and putting NOS decal sets on.

The serials will be registered with Champion as if production never stopped until they run out of stampedd BB's :D
