Kris Holm Unicycle

That's not a Kris Holm, it's a Summit, they stole his design and
produced a near identical copy of it, i should imagine this was in '03
or '04. There was some sort of legal battle i think, and although i'm
not sure of the final outcome i think it is genreally agreed that they
copied him, not the other way round. Alot of people use them, but i
don't think they're as good as the KH, and i don't think they're
produced any more. This is the vaguest recollection but i think they
were a copy of a prototype which was then modified substatially before
becoming the release version of the KH, hence the difference in
performance between the two. Apologies for being so unsure with the
facts, i'm sure someone, possibly even dangeruni himself, will set me
straight on what exactly happened. Hope that helps,

Ohh, I see. Thanks a lot for that info. I saw that Unicycle in New
Zeeland got those, but that's along way from Sweden. Hope someone got it
in Europe. Summit is not as clean as that one, and yes they are alike
eachother but the KH is cuter I think.

Hope Kris Holm can sign something about it, Simon

That is the '03 KH. '04 was black, and '05 is blue. Summit bought a
bunch of prototypes of the '03's, thats why they are the same color. The
only difference on them is the frame. The Summit was bigger and squarer.
I don't think you willl find any of those left. But if you want the hub
and crank set, let me know. Its an 8 spline. I also may be selling my
Summit frame eventually but not yet.

I was pretty sure that Kris said that he had improved the hub/crank set
some how. Becasue the summit was a copy of his prototype. maybe it was
how the hub/axel fitted. I can't remember for sure what it was, i just
remember kris saying something about it last time he was over here... i
know the KH is better then the Summit in terms of strength though .

Ah rite sorry, i thought all the orange frames were summit, didn't
really get in to trials/muni til '04 so as far as i knew all KHs were
black, apologies for the poor knowledge.

A summit unicycle is the prototype that Kris Holm designed. then later
Kris improved on his unicycle, and released it again without the name
Summit on it, which is the kind you see right there.
it's a 2003 model, I believe, and the kind I have. it's very good, but
the new KH20's are even stronger and better....so I wouldn't bother with
the kind in the picture you showed, get the new model from
unicycledotcom instead. unless you want it orange, in which case, get
the new model and powdercoat it orange.

This is the same unicycle, but in black:

It is available from the Swedish branch of Unicycle.com. See the above
link for description in Swedish.

You can also buy the lighter 2005 version which has an aluminium frame
and better crank system.
