What ever Happened to Dirt Uni?

[Unicorn]

Hi,

Does anyone know what happened to "Dirt Uni - Unicycles that shred." ?

I have not been able to get into thier website for about half a year
now.

Does anyone own a Dirt Uni? How are they?

If you don't recognize that layout immediately as one of the MILLION
fake stolen domains that are popping up everywhere, you must not do
much googling. :)

[british accent] "What are you doing"
[another british accent] "I'm guessing"
[first accent again] "What are you guessing?"
[second british accent] "I'm guessing that the strange sybol Ti has
something to do with titanium.

Dirtuni.com was actually their Url I know because I've been there and
on several occasions thought about buying a Custom Dirt Uni, but now I
guess they couldn't afford the domain name anymore, and gave up the
website....

Lol, I knew it was fake, but at first it seemed ok, then once I looked
at it, it was obvious.

Yeah, it was SLIGHTLY more real looking than most of them. I think that
those sites may have worked a couple years ago when web site pirating
started, but pretty soon, EVERYONE is going to know what they are, and
they're just going to close them as soon as they open...

I'm the proud owner of a Dirt Uni. Eugene, the builder, is off doing
other stuff now - but his legacy lives on. The dirt uni is bomb proof.
Profile Hub and cranks, Ringle' pedals, hell for stout frame and a big
ole 3" downhill knob. It's a little heavy, but I don't worry about
breaking it.

It's a great uni, in my opinion.
Happy uni riding

That is really interesting! I started this thread after someone made fun
of Eugene in an article where they described him as one of the pioneers
of MUni. They did not hear of him but I immediately recognized the Dirt
Uni but then could not get into his site. I wanted to get a Dirt Uni
when I started riding but then found someone with and ONZA 24 here in
Israel for half the price. I now have three Kris Holms as well. $900 is
a little to steep to pay for a Uni now adays.

How is the crown? I love the design. If a part breaks you don't have to
replace the whole frame! I bet you "shred" with that Dirt Uni if you
are as good a rider as the Dirt Uni is itself!
