  1. I don't own a Koxx-1, or a KH, so this is completely out of general
    unicyling interest. I see lots of people stripping the paint off their
    KH frames to leave the raw aluminium and I was just wondering whether
    this works the same with the Koxx-1 frames (or any other frames for
    that matter). Has anyone tried it? Would it look like the Dan Heaton
    street frame or not?

    Cheers,
    Matt

  5. yeah they are steel well the devil frames are. If your gonna paint it
    i'd recomend you simply rough up the powdercoat so the paint sticks
    better onto it. If you want to get it clear coat it in a few coats of a
    nice strong varnish.

  7. Yea I know the K1 frames are steel so you'd definitely have to
    clear-coat it. Because it doesn't form a protective oxide layer like
    the aluminium KH frames (yes I was listening in chemistry 😄 )

    Kris that frame looks pretty sweet. I guess for the trouble of
    stripping it (and not repainting it) though you're better off just
    getting the DH frame. Depending on how you want it to look.

  8. i did it to my old torker 🙂
    it looked really cool cuz i faded into the paint a little at the
    bearing holder and the cranks and stuff are black... 🙂

    EDIT: i clearcoated it with a clear spray paint, and it didn't work
    perfectly, there were still rust spots, be sure to use a WATER PROOF
    paint.

  9. Haha that looks wicked Skrobo! I see you upgraded your Torker a bit. Is
    that the old KH crankset?

    Kris.Lee: What colour did you do your frame? Post some pictures if
    you've got any. I'm always interested in uni colour schemes 🙂

    thats my old uni. it started out as an 05 dx...20" broke the frame, got
    the 07 frame, got a nimbus rim/trials tire setup. and KH seat.

    i ride a stock(so far) KH right now.
