    After asking all the newbie questions, reading hundreds of posts, here's
    the Muni that I wanted to build. I appreciate all the help and
    information that Unicyclist.com has provided.

    I laced and trued the wheel (my first time). I cut and brazed the frame
    tubes. My friend with a Bridgeport machined the shaft collars. A
    Rustoleum paint job and she's good to go!

    KH Fusion Freeride saddle
    KH alloy 26.2 seat post
    Bedford triple bolt seat clamp
    Home brazed unified triangle frame 4130 CrMo with a spiffy cobalt metal
    flake paint job!
    KH Moment ISIS hub
    KH 165mm crank arms
    Machined McMaster Carr shaft collars enlarged to 22mm
    DT Swiss Champion 14 gauge X 262mm spokes
    Alex DX 32 double walled rim
    Duro Wildlife 26"X3" MUni tire
    Plastic El Cheapo learner pedals

    It's a blast to ride!

    It's neat to see homemade frames.

    wow, that thing is smokin' 😄 I like custom frames. All it needs is new
    pedals, plastic pedals are bad for MUni. (Mud + Plastic = lubed pedals)
    Have fun and get it MUDDY 😄

    that is awesome, I take it you based the frame off the hunter design?

    the only thing i dont understand is why you didnt get the new kh
    drilled rim, but oh well.

    Im jealous.

    my dad wanted to make a custom frame and we have the tubing and brazing
    rods but he kinda lost interest in the whole thing...
    was it hard to braze together?
    you gonna give us a review on how well the frame holds together?
    Whats the weight of the frame and of the whole muni?

    That's awesome.
    I often thought about trying to make my own frame.

    Hey! That's not a muni! Where's the mud? 😄

    Seriously, though, it looks really good. Have you got any more photos?
    Particularly the crown area?

    hope you have fun with it.

    I'm pretty sure the drilled rim is only avail. in 19" and 24".

    I would have gone for the older KH (still 42 mm wide and 'rebranded as
    a Nimbus' (http://tinyurl.com/2w7ghw)) or 'Surly Large Marge'
    (http://tinyurl.com/2z2lfg) (65) rims.
