Blizzard frame or normal frame?

i you sure you dont mean Hunter frames instead of Blizzard frames? there
a very few Blizzard frames over here in the USA. i only know of two of
them but Hunters are everywhere.

your location isnt in your profile so maybe you live accross the
Atlantic and do mean Blizzard frames but if your talking about the USA
there just are not that many that made it over here.

I've got a 24" Blizzard muni frame with Magura mounts. It's very
similar to Rick Hunter's design, but after shipping and duties from UK
to US, there's not much of a price difference.
Both frame designs are strong, and I just prefer the narrowness of the
dual tube designs generally.

Then why did you bother posting? Try thinking before you press "submit
reply."

The blizzard frames are definitely good frames, although as Jag said,
they are rather rare in the US. One thing to think about is that those
braching tubes could get in the way during foot on crown tricks,
especially standup ww. The hunter frames are excellent, but I've still
heard complaints about their crown-grippy-ness.

Yuni frames are light, strong, and cheap, so they are more than worth
consideration. KH 04 or 05 frames are good, although the 05 remains
relatively untested. If you are breaking seatposts, you should eliminate
the Yuni and Nimbus frames, since they have small seattubes.

When it all comes down to it, you can't really go wrong, as any frame on
the market that will fit a 3" tire will be adaquate.

One nit I have to pick with the blizzard/hunter frame thing is that I
really haven't seen that many amazing riders on Hunters (not to say they
don't exist). The North American crowd seems to use mostly KH 03/04
frames and Yuni. For example, random statistical sample (well, not
really):
Ben PS: KH pro
Joey C: Yuni 26 w/brake bosses
Ryan A: KH 04 frame
Jeff G: Bedford w/ bosses
Me: Yuni 24"
Zack B: KH 04
Mike M: Hunter w/o bosses
Jess R: KH 04

With the exception of Mike M, each of them rode the double black
diamonds at CMW04, so you can infer that each were plenty decent. And
among them, you will only see one hunter rider.

i think alot of that has to do with price. $350 is alot more than a
Yuni frame and over a hundred more than a KH frame, both of which ooze
out of Taiwan factories by the hundreds. the Hunters are made in the
USA.

another reason is the round crown, most want a flat crown for foot
tricks. anyone who complains about a hunter not being good for foot trix
needs to know its not built for that stuff and complaining isnt really
justified.

The UK branch of Unicycle.com has the 'Blizzard frame'
(http://tinyurl.com/3h4m).

Anyone know if Joe Rowing has a current web page? He used to be at
'www.pedal.me.uk' (http://www.pedal.me.uk/) but not any longer.

Um, well, it's kind of hard to command respect if your avatar summons
the mental image of a two year old throwing a temper tantrum.
