    The above should have been your subject line.

    What are the differences between a KH (you didn't say what product)
    from Bedford and one from UDC? Is this what you're asking? If one is
    supposed to be "better" what gave you this impression?

  3. They are the same but Darren Bedford covers up the KH logo on the front
    of the frame with a Bedford sticker.

    So I suppose if you want the KH logo covering up the Bedford Kris Holm
    unicycles are better for you

    Darren might be able to give you cheaper shipping within Canada, though
    sadly not a picture or full description of the unicycle on his
    website.

    Because Canadian dollars and US dollars are different?

    Yes, are you comparing two unequal currencies? Anyway, sounds like your
    original question, which again should have been the thread title, is
    why the KH from Bedford is $50 more than the ones from UDC (USA
    presumably).

    Another reason may be his own costs. The unicycles are made in Taiwan
    or China, and then probably container-shipped to the USA. If they
    aren't shipped directly to Canada, Darren has to pay some transit
    and/or duty fees to bring them into Canada, on top of the costs to
    bring them to North America in the first place.

  7. there better because Darren doesnt leave stuff you ordered out of the
    box and put Banjo.com stickers you dont want in the box.

    oh, then theres the Bedford girl(s) buisness cards too.

  12. I say they are both pretty equal.

    Both supply us with great unis, both have their ups and down, and both
    put customer service high on their priorities.

    They're talking about the UDC US.

    UDC UK is freakin' awesome. Can't get any better, really fast
    delivery, someone who knows what they are talking about. Awesomeness.

    I have heard Bedford is a LOT better than UDC US though... I have heard
    baaaad things about UDC US.

  16. Yeah Bedford is awsome and so is UDC UK. I ordered stuff from them and
    on both the things they left out something. UDC UK shipped me the
    wrong color seat cover. Within a few days I had the correct one and
    was able to keep the other as a spare. Bedford is awsome because you
    can change your order up till the time that he ships it. We changed
    our order so much and made it so big that he forgot to pack my KH
    seatpost in the packages. Within a little over a week I recieved my
    seat post via express shipping( which costs more than the post).
    UDC US on the otherhand if they dont have something in stock that you
    ordered they will not tell you about it except when you get an empty
    box with a note telling you that they wont have anymore in stock. And
    the weird UDC stickers on your uni are hard to get off and the banjo
    thing is annoying.

  18. Also, darren spends more then 45 min, putting together the uni, making
    sure the spoke tension is right. lubing everything that needs lube,
    pretty much he makes everything perfect and makes sure everything is
    perfect. unlike unicycle.com who just ship it out as it comes in.
    Darren also has been selling uni's for 25 or so years. he knows what he
    is talking about! again unicycle.com (In the U.S) does not,
    addtionally unicycle.com in the states overground the spider on my old
    profile crank arms so that they ended up cracking. that sorta stuff
    would never ever happen with darren, he knows what he is selling and
    actually wants people to enjoy unicycling, well unicycle.com just wants
    to sell the uni's.
    darren's the way to go
    cheers
