  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    surprised by that?

    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.

  9. 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.
