brazing a unicycle?

so it is called a frame and i'm looking for a main cap bearing housing
assembly. not just the bottom but the whole enchilada. the part of the
bearing housing that is welded/brazed the frame.

i should add i have some experience brazing bicycle frames and forks.

You can just buy 2 sets of steel ones from UDC.

you can get basic ones from unicycle.com they have bearing caps on there
somewhere, if you are looking for better ones I think dirtuni.com will
sell them.

Finally you could bug Surly for some, they have the best looking
bearing caps around but I dont believe they are for sale alone without
a frame. Doesnt hurt to ask though...

i'm looking for the piece that gets welded/brazed to the frame as well.
not just the loose replaceable parts. the parts in unicycle.com look
like stamped galvanized steel. that cant be what reputable builders are
using. way too cheesy. my guess is 4130 cromo of some kind. it could be
just a slice of 4130 tubing with pinch bolts brazed on.

the suly setup looks very sweet.

Thats essentially what the holders are on the Kris holms, expet with a
lip on the side.
