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?

that was neat, now i only have to put it to use. parents banned my uni due to low school marks so if there are any nerds out there with a kind heart, i have a psychology assignment that is a few weeks over due, it is on intelligence.
I think that one is handmade in the US, so that's why it's so expensive.
Diet Coker???

are there any relatively inexpensive coker frames? like around the $30 to $60 price range?

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.
