  2. Looks pretty nice, but they should put a real KH saddle on there.

    Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving in a
    pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly
    used up, totally worn out, and loudly declaring, "WOW what a ride!"

  4. heeey, Obie, you're still alive.
    doesn't look bad...the frame looks kinda crappy though. and they
    spelled Kris Holm wrong. and a typo in crank length. other than that
    it looks okay though.

  7. If that's the same frame as the qu-ax it's supposed to be really heavy,
    but strong.

  8. That frame looks overbuilt, I think it would hit you legs on it and it
    would get in the way for some skills, the seat is to thick, the
    crankset is week. I cant see anyone paying more than $210 for it.
    Especially when you can get the new torker for a little more.

  9. I got the uni to test it... i bent the hub at the first jump (it was
    only a longjump test, to see how the uni feels like)

    the frame is realy heavy. it is the same frame as the old blue Qu-ax.
    the rim is quite strong, but also very heavy.

    The best thing on the uni is the tire. it has a lot of grip and is
    bouncy

  12. It's a little disapointing that a company that makes some quality stuff
    doesn't make a trials uni with a decent hub. Maybe that's coming.

    AND, look at the standard unicycles they're selling:
    http://monty.es/bikes/2006/pdf/unicycle.jpg. Gotta love those metal
    bumpers. If I was a cycle company I would be reluctant to put my name
    on those.

    Pretty much, those metal seats are the WORST to learn on...they make
    your legs bleed when you're learning to hop...I've ridden one of those
    Monty's and they are pretty heavy, the frame isn't the best for one
    footed or crown tricks. The only good thing i'd say is the
    tyre...otherwise, they aren't really worth it
