They're curvy and sexy like me! Lol Really though, the roundcrown design is stronger and lighter, and has no corners to bust your knees on. They're best used for trials b/c you can't very easily do any tricks that require one or both feet on the crown. -- OneWheelLess Seriously, the other wheel just fell off one day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OneWheelLess's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16793 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74526 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Whats the big deal about a round crown frame???
Well, In my opinion (others may differ), its primarily the frame wanted for trials, so when doing SIF hopping, you wont smash your knees on the corners. Thats hurts a lot. I actually cut some pieces off of my Nimbus II frame to make it a round crown. 'heres a link to one of my posts with pictures of it.' (http://tinyurl.com/5vajcq) It turned out really nice, and i really like it. -- unibikeling "-I'll learn the landing once i do the takeoff-" - me 'Sixsixone - Great gear for all riding!'

+1 imagine Kaori w/ a roundcrown... i think its rather stupid to be so caught up in roundcrowns, not to be opposed to them, but they are just a frame to me, don't mean too much really, if it works for you, cool, if not, oh well. i don't see a reason for a "revival" ... you don't save much of anything.

I've hit my shins on my KH maybe one or two times while hopping and my little brother has not reported anything while using his Nimbus II frame. I don't see what the fuss is about. -- CoreTechs UNICYCLE FOR CHRIST In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti )--21stOverall-RTL2008-O )--18thCriterium-RTL2008-O ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CoreTechs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15629 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74526 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I like your frame. It looks like you can still use it for crown tricks. Instead of asking for round crowns to be brought back, why not ask for the those metal nubs to be sheared off or something? -- CoreTechs UNICYCLE FOR CHRIST In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti )--21stOverall-RTL2008-O )--18thCriterium-RTL2008-O ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CoreTechs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15629 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74526 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I even did a really crappy job on my machining of it, i did absolutely NO measuring. It was all by sight. edit: i would produce the frame if i could, but i have no means of doing so, nor do i have a want. Still i think its a cool design i came up with. -- unibikeling "-I'll learn the landing once i do the takeoff-" - me 'Sixsixone - Great gear for all riding!'
