Here is a link to a picture of my MUni, which I’ve been riding for the
last few months. All going well, these should be available for sale by NUC
(through unicycle.com).
The CrMo frame is designed to closely fit around a 24x3" tire, and to fit
a strong hub/crank setup
(e.g. Profile’s). The fork stays are ovalized, and the square fork crown
is specifically designed to hold the foot securely for gliding. Note
that the fork crown in the picture is slightly different than the
production model, which will be a bit lower profile.

…I take it the brakes are Maguras? If so will the > production frame have dedicated mounts as well?
The frame will have “Monty mod-bike” style brakemounts. These are
different than the normal Magura mount in that they clamp securely onto
two attachment points on the frame (instead of one point. This means that
no brake booster is required- an advantage because most boosters don’t fit
over a 3" tire.
The frame will also have a mount for disk brakes. This is a bit premature
because disk hubs don’t exist yet (at least in production), but at least
it will be there if needed.
Will the frame come with the same anti-gravity device to hold itself
completely upright with no assistance like in your photo? It’s marvellous
what they can do these days

That’s the autobalance system- sorry I forgot to mention it

and with a taller neck? (ok, maybe I should just get a wilder rail, and
stop complaining about such things)
