Kinda took me almost two years to do this, but figured I would say thanks for the framebuilding class and send along a few pictures of the frame I built. I took the cromoly tig class with Jim around April 2005. Just recently rode the touring bike I built up from Minneapolis to Washington DC and loved it. First really long ride on the thing. It was a little hard to find a 26" touring fork with a 1" steerer -- should have thought of that when I built it -- but I found a mysterious old touring fork at the shop I work at in Philly. Building my first lugged frame now... we'll see how that turns out.
