Here's a pic of my custom framed Muni. I built the crown and seat-tube
assembly and bolted on a pair of cnc'd aluminum legs

i ride both a custom muni and trials. mostly because i'm fairly tall i
like my frames to come up higher than most "stock" unis. plus i went to
college with george barnes(GB4) so i pretty much had to ride his
frames. plus he's 6'6 and understands tall folks.

I have two custom, anodized aluminum frames made by Steve Howard. The
red one is a MUni which now has red Kooka cranks on it.

I ride a homemade Steve-howard-esque trials frame. It was my first
machining/metalworking project ever, and shows a ton of subtle mistakes
because of it. I'm about 10 hours of work away from finishing the
second version, which, save for one mistake, has come out perfectly so
far.

The hardest thing about custom frames is the bearing holders. There's
no really good design out there, and unless you have a cnc mill, they
are rather difficult and take forever to make.

It floats to the ceiling so I just store it there in my basement. I
never weighed the frame by itself. Maybe Steve knows. He made several
of that version.

How's that handle? and where'd it come from? I'm looking into similar
options for my coker, but only kinda. Is it custom gear?

Custom frames I have:

- I drilled a 24" Schwinn frame with 1" holes, back in 1982 or so
- 12" uni, Schwinn style, made by Tom Miller, 1984
- 45" big wheel, Schwinn style frame, made by Tom Miller, 1982
- 5' giraffe, made by Emmet Carpenter in the 70s
- 9' giraffe with articulated step for freemounting, made by Tom miller
in 1986
- Custom Miyata frames; a 24" frame cut & re-brazed to be 20" (because
they only made 24" frames originally), other custom Miyata frames with
tall head tubes and my initials built in under the chrome, all made by
Tom Miller in the early 90s or so
- Roger Davies Mk5 carbon MUni, 1997 or so, lighter than any other
frame I have
- Wyganowski 20" freestyle with long head tube; heavy but very strong
(great pro Freestyle uni)
- For a while I had one of Steve Howard's wonderful MUni frames, but
donated it for raffle at Unicon 11. I miss it!
- Wilder MUni (red)
- GB4 29er (red), does double duty as a cruiser or fast but easy MUni
