I must admit, a 29er *does* sound interesting, however, I'll keep my
options open as the build starts in June sometime.
habbywall, I'll probably go with a Kris Holm saddle rather than what's
on the list, cheaper, and they match the color scheme that I'm after.

making this one....soon. its a very light strong muni
heres the plans
707 gram- KH 29" frame (yes 29", not 26"..but it works and is very
light)
1200 gram- for both KH 140mm cranks & hub
770 gram- alex dx32 rim
785 gram- Kenda kinetics rear 26" tire
290 gram- traditonal KH seat post
890 gram- Kh seat
450 grams- jimmy c. pedals
*Total = 5092 grams! *(a very light 26" muni..this muni is lighter and
stronger than most 24" muni's)
pick a light tire, because thats where most weight is added. A Kenda
Kinetics is very light and still wide at 2.6"

tholub, is the kind of unicycle you're refering to the same style as the
cokers used for rolling trials? If it is, I think that'd probably best
suit my needs.

No, a Coker is 36", not 29". You can use a 36" wheel off-road on most
of the same kinds of terrain as you can a 29er, if you want to go that
way. It's quite a bit larger, though, if you're short on space or
trying to ride in tight areas.

I meant the same sort sort of style (kind of off-road, kind of not, same
sort of tires, and so on) if you can see what I mean.
