I’m off for its inaugural ride. Will post the rest of the pics later this weekend.
Sure hope UniBrier’s new MUni didn’t fall into a heap on it’s inagural ride! It’s neat to see it put together. That big ol’ white Sun rim really sets off the black frame and Gazz.
Nope - not yet anyway.
The CNC aluminum frames I’ve made are pretty light. The latest version is slightly lighter than the earlier frames like Harper’s. I think it weighs about 1.75 pounds. The hub is light too (but hopefully strong) and combined with aluminum cranks makes for a very light weight MUni.
The only thing that fell into a heap was its rider.
The inaugural ride went off like a dream. Between the lighter frame and the 24x3 gazz I was riding at a whole new level compared to my 26x2.6.
The Q on the cranks is just right, the only thing I need to do is some additional adjustments on the air seat and lock-tight the screws. I got it assembled barely in time for Saturday morning’s ride. I originally was going to do black spokes but they couldn’t find black in that length. I like the end result of Black and White with a touch of Silver.
I didn’t do anything big enough to test the hub or cranks. Thanks to Harper we got kicked out of the park before the rest of us could jump around on the picnic tables. Kids these days.
Steve, both of you! If those MUni’s get looking any sweeter, I am just going to have to have one or two just for their ‘fine art factor’… yeah, hang 'em on the wall of my living room, humm, over the couch would be nice…
Great MUni, don’t know for sure how Unibier was riding before his new MUni but on the inaugural ride he sure was tearing up the trail… Hey, Steve Howard if I get a MUni from you will I be able to ride like Unibier…?!
