  1. Does anyone who owns 'this nimbus'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=940) or has riden one
    have any complaints, and I mean with the frame it shows, not the
    rounded crown they now come with

    no, onewheely said the link wasnt working for him, and because he didnt
    see what it was he couldn't then assess the situation. i copied and
    pasted the stuff so that if other people's links to it aren't working,
    they can check it out and tell DrumCropsFan about it and if it's good
    or bad.

    Thus helping him out, a lot

    This statement right here would stop me from buying it:
    \"NOW SHIPS WITH A ROUNDED CROWN FRAME.\"

    If you're serious enough into uni that you want splined you definately
    don't want a rounded crown frame. I guess unless you have no interest
    in doing any one footed or freestyle tricks.

  14. Yeah the rounded frame isn't so good, although if you're using it purely
    for trials in a way it's better because you'll hit your knees less on
    it. Id go for it tho, good strong uni, it will do you well until you
    get very serious.

    round crown frames are underated, they work really well.
