I ponder on this as well, i have heard of them, but never seen them.
Seems like some kind of uni-ghost to me

I have ridden one! They are nuts! If they were cheaper, I would have
one. But alas, they are around $1300USD

Yeah I tried one too the same time Eroik did, it was alot of fun, i
would really love to have one of these machines, maybe once I start
working after I get my coker prettied up, my trials fixed up, my 26er
built, my miyata customized longneck bought... ok it will probably
never happen...

Loosemoose has a 36" custom built schlumpf coker, carbon seat, aluminium
frame etc. It's quite a laugh, I rode it in the Unicon Marathon. Having
said that, the play in the hub bugs me, I'd feel more comfortable
riding a normal 36" than a schlumpf at high speed any day.

I rode Bryan Mackenzie's 29er sclumf and it's pretty awesome. The amount
of speed you can have is impressive

I possess a Schlumpf, the common 29er model to be exact. I used to
regard it as a machine made for speed, but my pedalling speed is
relatively low compared to the blurry leg spinning that I've seen on
the unicon races footage. My peak cadence on any unicycle rarely gets
to 110rpm, and that's slow!

However, even with a slow cadence the gearing means I can get a
respectable speed without having to spin my legs as fast. For instance,
a comfortable 90rpm on my Schlumpf works out at approx 12mph, to get
the same speed on a Coker you'd have to pedal at approx 115rpm.

The 29er looks very sexy indeed, and more importantly respectable, as
the Coker's massive 36" wheel looks far too big to be taken seriously.
It can also fit in the car boot more easily.

And of course if you don't want to go fast, or are going on rough
terrain, just press the silver button and your speedy Schlumpf
magically becomes a standard 29er. So that's effectively two unicycles
for the price of... errr....😕

The "crank play" issue is bothersome at first, but ride it on a regular
basis and you do get used to it. Anyone trying high gear for the first
time will have far more problems, it took me about three weeks of
virtually learning to ride all over again in order to master it.

Gord, at 499 posts, please learn to write a subject line. Generally it's
the first question of your post. In this case, "How many people
actually own a schlumf unicycle?" That's the topic of the thread. It's
not a general thread on Schlumpfs, of which many have already been
made.

As for me, I don't have one but someday I will...
