Telford frame

Nathan Hoover has a couple of photos of his Telford in his unicycles
gallery at Webshots: 'Nathan's unicycles'
(http://community.webshots.com/album/29172825KykoOOuIOY). Go to page 2
of the gallery to see the Telford.

I'll attach a vintage photo of a Telford. It's from the days before the
discovery of the 3" wide Gazz. You can also see the Thudbuster Uni
Pivot seatpost shock that the Telford frame was designed for. That's
why the seatpost is angled back the way it is, so the Uni Pivot shock
moves downwards. Bike seatposts are angled back and the Uni Pivot was
designed for the bike geometry. The Telford had to match that geometry
to make it work right.

Here are some photos of my Telford. Can a unicycle be too flashy?

I got a couple of tips from one of Kris Holm's workshops.

1. When balancing on a rail, try to keep your weight over the wheel.

2. When doing a still stand, try to keep the wheel beneath you.

(I may have gotten these reversed.)

Seriously, riding a Telford is no different at all. Your center of
gravity is the same.

The reason Geoffrey used the sloping top tube was to put suspension
posts at the angle they were made for. The other reason was easthetic.
They are beautiful machines.

With respect to the seatpost, the seat angle looks normal. But with
respect to the straight line to the wheel, the upwards angle is
humongous. Don't you tend to just slip off backwards?

Those Telfords got around. Here's a photo of Geoffrey (Telford) Faraghan
on the Great Wall of China shooting a VERY hung over Bruce Bundy riding
a Telford in 2000.
