    Says next week, does that mean it will be done next week?

    We will see

    By the way I got this email three minutes ago

    Also looks like someone was bored in the shop (or photoshop)

  4. It says "more info coming next week." Sounds like more info to me.

    The frame looks cool, assuming that's the actual frame. If not, why
    show it? And why all the mystery still? If I were them, I'd be bragging
    about whatever features it's going to have, to try to start capturing a
    market of people willing to wait for it to be available.

    Anyway, it was great to hear an update, and now I'm fascinated!

    Clearly four legged, its behind the other but you can see it towards
    the bottom.

    4 legs. It's kind of a weird design: looks like there are two legs
    curving in front of the seatpost and two legs behind. Actually, it
    looks rather like somebody superimposed two unicrowned frames at 90
    degrees to each other.

    It looks like fitting brakes could be quite a pain. Looks like quite a
    beefy frame though, with those four large legs. Looks a bit "alien"
    though!

  17. I've got to say, I think I got into unicycling (and then cokering / big
    wheel / distance riding) at just the right time. The innovations in
    big wheeling and distance riding are coming thick and fast these days.
    Seriously, the new Qu-AX 36", the new Coker, the Nimbus 36", the
    Schlumpf (and the KH/Schlumf).

    I'm amazed and delighted that we actually have this many companies
    actually -competing- in the "long distance unicycling" market - I mean,
    it doesn't sound very likely, does it? 😉 Of course, it's still a
    rather small niche, but no longer so small that there's only one or two
    very similar alternatives (which was the case just a few years ago: two
    rims, and three very similar cycles available).

    I shall be quite interested to see what this frame looks like. I
    wonder if it'll support an extra wide hub correctly - if so I might
    consider it over the Nimbus to upgrade my 36" at some stage. Either
    way, it's good to see new frame designs being explored too. It'll be
    very interesting to see what the new hub looks like, whether they've
    upgraded the pedals / saddle and also if they've made any changes in
    the area of tyres / tubes.

    I'm excited to see what happens next 😄

  18. Unless it's going to be an aluminum frame, it'll be TWICE as heavy as
    before!:eek:

    True - although I'm not sure how much that'll matter compared to the
    weight of the wheel! I'd hope that the stiffness benefits would be
    worth it, though.

    I'm still not convinced that any "stiffness benefits" are that
    noticeable. My radial 36 deluxe utilizes the standard tubular frame and
    I haven't noticed *any* "flex" with it at all; and I've done some
    pretty extreme stuff on it so far, in addtition to putting several
    hundred miles on it. I've also ridden the deluxe with the _nimbus_
    frame, and didn't notice any appreciable difference, but it did feel
    more sluggish. Maybe it just takes getting used to it.🙂
