Your right! The frame is not on backwards either, you can tell because
the noodles are on the same side as the brake mounts.

That color scheme is very unique, how much does a job like that run?

The purple was gonna be a tad lighter, but due to the transparncy, he
wanted to ensure a uniform caoting and laid it on thicker, which is
fine, so it has three coats, with the 2nd coat thicker than usual,
meaning it should hold up pretty well to abuse.

I got the frame, two bearing holders, and the four brake calapers all
coated for $65. Now I just need to get brakes put on it. I had him use
"off the shelf" powders, stuff that he had left over from previous jobs.
If I had been more picky, I could of gone crazy and had him order other
colors and what-not, but it would have cost an extra $50 bucks or so,
for the cost of a box of specially ordered powder.

Oh and yeah, I noticed that the "noodles" were not on the correct side,
but I can't do any moves that would require their use anyway, so I like
to think of it as a "Limited Edition" backward uni. Hey, that's not so
crazy. Years ago, the U.S. Postal Service printed a set of stamps with
the airplane upside down and now it's worth millions. In a few years,
my backward noodle MUni will be worth at least $100,000!!! 😄

I'm guessing that more such "Limited Editions" will turn up. Hopefully
KH and whoever you bought the uni from will see this thread, and have
some influence on Quality Control.

The noodle side won't affect my decision to have a KH29 in my future,
but it sure is nice when manufacturers (or assemblers and retailers)

its only worth millions if the stamp wasnt ever used and
canceled......and since you removed the original paint on the KH its
unlikly that it will be worth as much as the other 500 or whatever that
ran though the Taiwain frame factory backwards 😉

That is very nice. Too nice for me. If I owned that MUni, I'd cry when
it got it's first scratch. 🙁 My MUni riding style puts lots of marks
on my KH frame.

Enjoy your ride!

That thing really is pretty. After I painted my Muni and put the flames
on it, I went to the local art supply company and got some clear plastic
laminate to cover the fork legs. My Muni has hit the ground quite a few
times and still remains unscathed 😉
