My new MUni

General
1

After asking all the newbie questions, reading hundreds of posts, here’s the Muni that I wanted to build. I appreciate all the help and information that Unicyclist.com has provided.

I laced and trued the wheel (my first time). I cut and brazed the frame tubes. My friend with a Bridgeport machined the shaft collars. A Rustoleum paint job and she’s good to go!

KH Fusion Freeride saddle
KH alloy 26.2 seat post
Bedford triple bolt seat clamp
Home brazed unified triangle frame 4130 CrMo with a spiffy cobalt metal flake paint job!
KH Moment ISIS hub
KH 165mm crank arms
Machined McMaster Carr shaft collars enlarged to 22mm
DT Swiss Champion 14 gauge X 262mm spokes
Alex DX 32 double walled rim
Duro Wildlife 26"X3" MUni tire
Plastic El Cheapo learner pedals

It’s a blast to ride!

Sweet!
It’s neat to see homemade frames.

wow, that thing is smokin’ :smiley: I like custom frames. All it needs is new pedals, plastic pedals are bad for MUni. (Mud + Plastic = lubed pedals) Have fun and get it MUDDY :smiley:

that is awesome, I take it you based the frame off the hunter design?

the only thing i dont understand is why you didnt get the new kh drilled rim, but oh well.

Im jealous.

my dad wanted to make a custom frame and we have the tubing and brazing rods but he kinda lost interest in the whole thing…
was it hard to braze together?
you gonna give us a review on how well the frame holds together?
Whats the weight of the frame and of the whole muni?

That’s awesome.
I often thought about trying to make my own frame.

Hey! That’s not a muni! Where’s the mud? :smiley:

Seriously, though, it looks really good. Have you got any more photos? Particularly the crown area?

SWEET JOB! :D:D

I’m pretty sure the drilled rim is only avail. in 19" and 24".

I would have gone for the older KH (still 42 mm wide and rebranded as a Nimbus) or Surly Large Marge (65) rims. It would’ve absorbed bumps and drops better.
