  1. so, what 36" frames are available to buy without an entire uni?

    I've seen hunter, GB4, quite a few homemade ones, and Bedfords. Any
    others?

    also, has anyone made an aluminum coker frame yet?

  4. Still no aluminum ones though. I think they would flex too much for
    aluminum.

    be using on my Diet Coker shortly 😎 .

  7. Those KH frames are $589 or close to $600 if I remember right. That's
    crazy talk to buy a frame that expensive.

  8. I think that one is handmade in the US, so that's why it's so
    expensive.

    Diet Coker???

  11. UDC sell a uni replacement frame in up to 36" sizes, its just like the
    stock coker frame. $60 might well get you one.

  12. You can get a Hunter 36 delivered for under $400. Hard to beat the form
    and function of a Hunter. Very rigid!

    Ken (Gizmoduck) runs a very lightweight 36" setup. Hence "diet"
    coker.

    Here are some things you can do with a standard coker to cut down its
    weight:
    -replace the rim with an airfoil
    -replace the spokes with narrower stainless steel spokes
    -go tubeless or use a 29er inner
    -cut off excess seat post (and frame!)
    -use lighter pedals
    -use a carbon fibre seat base

    Standard 36" Qu-Ax frame, I've got mine for I think about 30 euro's
    from municycle.com, gotta send Roland an e-mail though, because it's
    not in the shop.

    Edit: Ken's diet unicycle saved most of it's weight on the seatpost 😄

    It's still not as light as it could be. Should save quite a bit more
    weight when I use the Schlumpf frame, Schlumpf cranks, and lighter
    pedals.
