The Triton's competition
I have a friend who's in the metal fabrication business and is interested in hearing about possibly making unicycle frames and seatpost's. He can get a hold of ANY metal and welds so good it makes me cry. I talked with him today and tried to explain how he could try and break into the unicycle market and he seems really interested. So I need some help from you guys on how I should go about getting him to commit to doing this. He lives and operates his business here in Texas so if your looking for a high quality frame, shipping won't kill you. He's already commmited to making dual-gusseted seatposts, but I really want him to make some ti frames. It would be awesome if I could get some suggestions or help from you guys, as this could benifit everyone here in the U.S if he does this thing. Anyone have any ideas for the frame? The seatpost shouldn't be too hard, but I'm not an engineer so help is appreciated. -- The UniSLAB Spoonthumb wrote: Does it make you feel good?

I want a magnesium frame, hopefully a shin friendly one and for a 36" wheel. Would be fricking sick. -- kerosian Unicycle for Ra DustinSchaap wrote: why would you kill the 5 yr olds? there's so much more fun things you can do with them ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kerosian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13944 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70828 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I know he can weld just about every metal there is, including ti, but I never asked about magnesium. I'm sure if you'd be willing to pay he'd be willing to make it! Thanks so far for the interest though guys, and keep it coming -- The UniSLAB Spoonthumb wrote: Does it make you feel good?

It's similiar to welding aluminum, not nearly as hard as Ti -- kerosian Unicycle for Ra DustinSchaap wrote: why would you kill the 5 yr olds? there's so much more fun things you can do with them ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kerosian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13944 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70828 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Seatpost's will be fairly simple, but a frame is different. That's why I'm hoping somone with a decent concept for structural intergrity and fame design will chime in. -- The UniSLAB Spoonthumb wrote: Does it make you feel good?

We can worry about the final touches later (polish,etching,ect.) but like I said we need a solid design first and foremost. We also might not just be limited to one design either so keep that in mind -- The UniSLAB Spoonthumb wrote: Does it make you feel good?

I would ask Sponge for his design for the Triton frames. That would be a good place to start. -- zfreak220 johnfoss wrote: Word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zfreak220's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11948 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70828 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
