  1. I have a profile hub/monty rim, tire, trials uni I want to sell.

    It has black cranks and ss spokes, and a new monty tire. I bought the
    wheel from unicycle.com built by Kovachi for $489

    The frame is home made by me it was built from a cromoly mountain bike
    fork that I straightened with heat and brazed on united maincap type
    bearing holders, and is powder coated bright blue. It is very sturdy,
    and looks good.

    It has a new Kris Holm seat and has a 22.2mm seatpost and no pedals, I
    could put on a pair of sun zuzu pedals for an extra $20

    I am asking $500 and I can bring it to NAUCC or I could ship it to you
    if you pay for the shipping.

    It's in great shape, I built it a couple of years ago and then broke my
    ankle and was unable to ride it for about a year, and I have barely
    riden it since. I want to sell it and get something else maybe a 29er.

    If your'e interested or have any questions contact me here, my email
    doesn't work so don't email or PM. I wasn't able to download pictures
    but as soon as I figure out the problem I will.

    Dan.

  2. Sounds awesome and although I can't buy it, it'd be cool to see some
    pics if you have any!

    tire in a semcycle xl 28 frame.

    ...I find it interesting that when you break your ankle ( were you
    actually doing trials when you sustained the fracture? ) that you just
    don't really feel much like doing trials after that....🙁

    Yes, I say go for the 29'er Dan.... it is such a nice mellow riding
    experience.

  7. I'd be interested if the price tag was a lot lower. I mean cmon...a used
    wheelset and a homemade frame. Plus no pedals?

    Lower it and I may talk.

    P.S. sorry for the publicness of this reply...my PM reading capabilities
    seem to be limited by the crappiness of this comp.

  8. Dan,

    What kind of drops did it see?

    How many years were you riding it and how often. I am just trying to
    figure out how much riding was done on it.

    I am interested, but I would rather do the discussion of money in a less
    visible setting.

    Any chance you can set up a hotmail email account?

    Or, I can call you, if you can post a phone number.

  9. Does that unicycle happen to remind anyone else of Dan Doerksen's
    unicycle. I think it must be the rounded crown.

  10. It also looks like it doesnt have bearing housings on it might be
    weird/weak in the pic, maybe its just me, or the frame but with no
    pedals and bearings... I'm very interested, but i'd need to know alot
    more and see alot more... I think the bearing thing might just be me.

  11. The bearing housing is there, just not painted blue.

    And you can get it with pedals, just for $20 more...

  12. I have been away for a couple of days, so sory for not replying sooner.
    The reason I would like to get five hundred for it is because I realy
    haven't riden it. When I say it has a new tire I should of said it's the
    tire that came on it which is still new.

    I just got it built when I broke my ankle while riding my muni on
    slickrock trail, it was a very bad break where my ankle was dislocated
    to the outside breaking both the tibia in two places, and fibula
    requiring a plate and ten screws. It took a long time to get my ankle
    back in shape and to be riding again, but it still doesn't like big
    impacts and it's easy to sprain. I do wear ankle supports and I still do
    phisical therapy, this spring I had the hardware taken out and it feels
    much better. I am still riding because it's what I love to do but it's
    hard to get the same level of confidence back after something like that.
    I enjoy doing trials but not like trail riding and it's not worth the
    risk of injury to me.

    I have built six unicycles so far and none of them have broken I think
    the frame is very sturdy, It was built from a very sturdy cromoly fork
    and I used a lot of metal brazing the bearing holders on. One of my
    first unicycles was run over by a large forklift and it didn't break, it
    destroyed the wheel the seat and cranks but the frame was ok.

    I don't realy need to get rid of it but since I'm not riding it I
    thought I might try to sell it, but I don't mind keeping it around, and
    I might get back into trials someday.

    I never did big drops on it, I could get up to rubber twenty inches and
    I was learning to do pedal and crank grabs so there are some scratches
    on the right crank and one time I over shot the crank and bent one of
    the spokes a little bit at the hub but it would be easy to replace, and
    I will replace if you want to buy it.

    If you want to contact me you can try to email me and it might forward
    to my other email address but I'm not sure, I am hesitant to give my
    address or phone number here, but I would email you with it if you like.
    Thanks, Dan

  13. Here's a close up of the hub and bearing holders, and the bent spoke
    which I will replace if you want to buy it. The bottom bearing holder
    cap is drilled out slightly larger and has recessed hex head T-nuts
    which makes it much sturdier and you wont bend the bolts and mangle them
    when doing crank grabs and rail slides.

  14. Here's a picture of four other munis I have built, the orange one
    belongs to Jon Sapp and the red one is mine. I have since replaced the
    hub and cranks with a profile set on mine.
