I need some information on Unicycle frames

The Yuni frame ($40) will work, as will the Nimbus ($42) or KH ($lots).

But you might be better off buying an entire unicycle, and keeping your
CX as-is for other kinds of riding. You really won't be able to fit a
3" tire on the stock CX rim, so by the time you've bought a new wheel,
tire, and frame, you pretty much have a new unicycle anyway. The
'Nimbus 24\"' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=745) is
just $209, or you could even get the splined-hub 'Torker DX'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=765) for $259.

Well, the thing is, i can get a standard wide rim that will fit my
unicycle for very cheap at the bike shop in town, however, since
unicycling still isn't big in indiana, there aren't many places close
that sell frames, the closest place to me is bloomington, which is a 2
hour round trip.....so the frame is the big problem, also i am in
college so i am buying parts when i have money. Nonetheless, thank you
for your reply it is helpful. I had already been looking at the Yuni
frame, but you say the nimbus will work as well, but which nimbus
frame? there are quite a few types

I just had to jump in to let you know Indiana is the home of The
Unicycle Factory (Kokomo). You didn't mention where your college is,
but if it's in the center part of the state (like Purdue), you're only
30 miles away.

With your low budget you probalby don't want anything custom, but just
be advised that you may be pretty close to one of the most
knowledgeable and experienced unicycle-building mind there is.

Caution: Tom Miller is a bit of an individualist, and may freak you out
in person, or talk your ear off on the phone. But if you want to talk
to someone who really knows unicycles, give him a call: 765-452-2692.

Whatever you do, don't mention Unicycle.com.

Otherwise, your easiet choice is probably to order that Yuni frame from
Unicycle.com. No bike shop required.
