  4. I must be honest and it's a sort of Carbon sticker that fits around the
    frame when you heat it and let it cool offπŸ˜‰
    On the photo's it isn't that cool but in real life it looks awesome
    😎 πŸ˜„

    That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! It looks like a standard KH frame
    that has been "texture" coated. If not, what does it weigh?

    I found it in a Car Tuning - Shop in my neighbourhood.
    But if you buy something like this, you have to ask if it fits small
    surfaces and if it can be placed with a hairdryer to heat the foil and
    morf it like you want itπŸ˜‰

  10. Nice look! I have a "real" CF frame in my garage, so now I wonder which
    is lighter... πŸ™‚ Definitely a nice change from the same KH blue
    everyone else has.

  14. looks really cool! How much does the tape cost?

    The welds at the crown probably give it away that is can't be carbon
    fiber

    If that happens, i just melt some new on the spots where it's rugged.πŸ™‚
    It's very easy to take it off with a hot air gun and put a new stroke
    back on

    Probably similar to the 4th photo down on 'this page.'
    (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/unicycle/unicycles.htm) It's an aluminium
    crown joining the legs and seat tube together with machined alloy
    bearing housings.

    Roger Davies made a few of these carbon fibre frames a few years ago
    but they were too labour intensive to produce in huge numbers. Roger
    has a couple, Connie has one, John has one, Rocket has one (the one in
    the photo), and a few other people have them.
