  1. Hey all, for my first post I bring news of a unicycle brand i have, in
    my recent web surfings, discovered. i was wondering if any of you have
    had the chance to ride one of creative gecko's muni's or heard of them.
    they have a couple of suspension frames and a wicked looking coker i'd
    love to get my hands on 😄 . Their, or his as i believe that these are
    all built, or at least all designed, by Ed Mosimann, uni's can be viewed
    at http://www.creativegeckos.com/pages/uni-home1.htm. they look pretty
    bomb-proof and i'd love to know how they perform from an unbiased
    source. not that the site is untruthful or anything but if nike told you
    their shoes cured cancer would you believe them?

  2. I was able to meet Ed and ride his 24" and 26" versions of his setups.
    The saddle is a bit wierd at first, but they work well. It was extremely
    well made, and I could see how much time was put into it. Also, Ed is
    and extremely intelligent engineer. He had a solar powered RV hooked up
    with every sort of gizmo.

    I'd assume they perfore mell, but other than a short test ride in the
    parking lot, and a feel of the bushings and ssuch, I cant tell you how a
    full on muni or coker ride would feel on one.

    Use the search feature and try Tasmanian Unicycle Tour or variations of
    that...I think you'll find some info on how that custom 36" held up to
    the rigors of a full tour.

    Ed's frames are just plain cool, and apparently function well too. At
    any rate they work for him and he's a very skilled rider. I had heard
    he was no longer in the frame building business, which he confirmed at
    Moab this year. So you'll have to be content with pictures, unless one
    of the current owners of his limited output is foolish enough to sell.

  4. I have emailed them with no response.

    I have since heard that they don't make them but the site is still there
    for information. They look great and the price is in Canadian dollars
    which makes them attractive.

  6. I didn't see many options for upgrading the seat post clamp. The shock
    absorber frame had some sort of clamping system that looked kind of
    beefy but I couldn't tell much from the pictures. The rigid frame only
    has the one cam-lock lever. I think I'd like to see a better hold on
    the seat post for some of the more extreme-style riding.

  8. I had emailed him about a year and a half ago. I wanted to just confirm
    what another rider said. Ed emailed me back and said that he was
    keeping the site up just for people to look at, but that he was no
    longer making them.

    Maybe, but unlike the dinosaurs, these look like they would be little

    Nao.
