  1. Here's a new muni I just built. It's the second frame I have built for
    this wheel and I didn't much like the way the first one turned out. I
    was hesitant to copy a Hunter but since I have no plans to sell them
    and either way I wasn't going to be buying a Hunter I don't feel like I
    have done Rick any harm. And hey don't they say the most sincere form
    of flattery is imitation. I didn't do this because I was trying to save
    money I just like building my own unicycles. It is also unique because
    I used a wide UDC Coker hub and a 26" Large Marge rim so the brake
    mounts need to be set wider than standard. I know Hunter will build
    anything you want but I expect the wait for a special order would be a
    couple of months.

    The first frame I built was made to also fit the 3.7" Endomorph tire
    but I realy hated it. I did like the way the Large Marge worked with a
    3" tire and I also realy like the 26" size with 175mm cranks. I want to
    have a KH moment hub widend and rebuild the wheel with it, but for now
    I am happy with the UDC hub and the Shimano XT cranks.

    It was the most difficult frame I have built so far. I had to make a
    tubing bender to bend the fork tubes. It worked realy well and the
    bends came out great.

  2. Here's the first frame. I mostly like the way it came out but it has a
    little bit of a twist to it. And like I say I realy didn't care for the
    Endomorph tire. I plan to keep it though and use it with the Endomorph
    for snow or sand.

    That is pretty damn swanky!

    Those are some really nice joints. You braze or weld?
    Good work! Now you just need to paint or PC it!

  4. Nice job! Will you be bringing this thing to Moab next year?

    The Endomorph is pretty limited in application; it's great at loose
    sand and snow, and not really much else.

    Thanks

    It's brazed, if you look close you can see the bronze or brass in the
    joints.

    I'm planning on getting it powder coated, maybe midnight blue.

    Thanks Tom.

    Yeah I will definitly bring it to Moab. It doesn't look like I will be
    making it out to California Muni Weekend, but maybe if I win the lotery
    or something.

    Yeah I agree with you about the Endomorph, it's also good if you want
    to make riding more difficult on everything else. 😉

    I thought it was probably brazed... real nice work.
    Be sure to post a pic once you get it up prettied up!
