My Christmas went into my bike instead of the Unicycle this year.
Wow looks nice, way better than that green spray pAINT.
just give a couple clear-coats and leave it like that.
btw didnt you make less tire clearance a while ago because i cant remember.
Yeah, itâs got about 2mm clearance now.
I donât ride in the rain, so I wonât be buying clear coat.
Iâm thinking about getting my cranks powder coated black, as well as the frame, and a set of bike cranks. I can get all that done for $20.
Even if you donât ride in the rain, surface rust is probably pretty likely. You should clear coat it just to be sure - it canât hurt. Really though this is a HUGE improvement, it looks actually kind of cool now.
Yeah, I think it looks really good now, looks better in person than in the picture.
But I did like the green, I rode around in the drama classroom in the dark with blacklight on and it was insanely cool looking.
EDIT: I am getting my bike cranks powder coated, so after that if I donât get the frame and Unicycle cranks throw in with it, then Iâll clear coat it.
Yes, I did it myself. I used some left over gold leaf form a Rolling Stoned set I hlep build last year.
Just wondering, whatâd you do to get less clearance?
Tho I dont think the hippies ever knew the difference.
Hacksaw + Angle Grinder + File + MIG Welder
For 2mm, you must have alot of spare time.
Borgschulze thats the nicest Torker DX ever! Awesome clearence, awesome look! Nice uni!
Isaac
the dx is nice, but i like sams better:D
That DX looks almost identical to my uni⌠except pretty much every component is different haha

thats actually what i first thought sponge, then i saw the dx crownâŚi have to say again borgschulze that thats one of the best looking dxâs ive ever seen, aloso the frame clearance is amazing!
Yeah, after I rawed it, I was thinking⌠When I post this people are going to compare it to âThe TiââŚ
Surface rust doesnât form as quick as some people make it out to be though, so I have quite a while before I decide to get it powdered black.
The cranks on my bike have been raw metal for close to a year now, and I have ridden in the rain at least 10 times since they have been rawed⌠well actually I sanded all the rust off of them with a dremel, the person I bought them from left his bike in the rain for a year and it pretty much is covered in rust.
Well now, you have a black post clamp and a seat cover with more red, as well as a silver hub. What about Profile cranks? Arenât they chromed? Or are they polished really well to get that Chrome look that I somehow doubt you can get CrMo to get.
I do respect The Ti though, I just donât like the Lollipop bearings.
Actually, it took under 30 minutes, including taking a break from using the hacksaw to get a drink.
I also ground off the stupid useless Magura mounts.
Why would you make a negative comment like that? You realize we all ride Unicycles⌠we must all have a lot of spare time.
if you didnt mean stones then thats mad funny:D
For an indefinite amount of time Iâve decided to focus on my trials riding so Iâve made the appropriate changes to my uni. 
I think he thinks that you only took off 2cm of the frame. The 2007 had a lot of clearence so you had to take a lot more than off.
It looks really nice. =p
I still have the hunks of steel I sawed off.
Theyâre ridiculously thickâŚ
I believe I took off around 1 1/4", I donât remember exactly though because the metal is in my garage, and I donât feel like going in there just to measure it.
why does lower tire clearence help with trials and street?
