i recently just got my muni( well about a month ) and i have the profile
set up the the dun double wide rim and the gazz.
I do have a Yuni 24" frame at the moment but im kind of afraid to go
really mucky MUni because i dont want mud to get stuck and topple me
off. There is barley any clearnece. So what if you were to make a frame
that isnt nescessaraly a total MUni frame ( like 26") but like a 25" or
24 and a 1/2. I am also into trials but i like to do it on my 24" so if
thats possible that could be kind a sweet.

laid her,

justin.

p.s. the reason im asking for the custom frame is because u do lose a
couple inches if u go to the 26" frame but i want it for MUni to.

Jaguar - I used parallel push linkage v-brakes and modified the angle of
the cable to clear the tire.

Justin,

Where abouts is it barely clearing - between the tire and the forks or
the tire and the crown. Both my 24"+ 26" frames are designed to fit a
3.0 Gazz. These current frames were designed mainly for downhill use,
but they can do some trials.

I met Aaron at UNICON and I thought he had a prototype frame with him,
hogged out of aluminum with a nice finish and with OSS deeply cut into
the crown with an end mill. If so, you definitely want to see at least a
photo of this very pretty frame.

Check out my website for pictures. It should be up and running by
tuesday of next week.

The entire frame consists of CNC machined components that have been Tig
welded together by hand. Oss has been engraved into each frame with a
ball nose endmill. So far everyone I've shown says that its a good
quality frame and that it looks very nice.

Unicon was a lot of fun, I enjoyed riding your unicycle with the geared
hub. Are you still manufacturing them?

I also met Aaron at unicon in the parade and his unicycle looked pretty
stylish.. I'm not sure if he remembers me though.

The frame is heavier since its constructed out of solid 6061 aluminum
components. Its built to last. Flex varies depending on fork length.

Maybe since there seems to be debate on weight and v-brake capability
etc, the best way to determine if there's a market is to bring a couple
of these babies along to the CA Muni Weekend or other significant event,
and let some folks go nuts on them. That seems to be a tried and true
system for almost every recent advance in the equipment for the sport.
