Here’s a price: $520 US
It looks like they uploaded an older version of the spec sheets- some of the info was incorrect on the detailed component description at this link.
The correct versions are at:

It also seems that the info is mixing the 20" and 24" versions. The
frame weight is correct for 20" and they make statements about
hardcore trials, but at the top it says 24", and also the rim and tyre
specs are for 24".
And I see that the obsolete spec for crank length includes my beloved
170 mm. So that indicates it was a late-minute decision to change that
to 165 mm. Woohoo (the weeping kind of woohoo, not the cheering one).

Uni.com substituted the 300mm rails bracket post, replaced with 350mm bolt-on style post. Should I request the rails instead? Whatcha think?
The UK has sales tax already added and we have a higher import tax. So actually not that much different.
HO HO HO HO, THAT’S ONE LOVELY MACHINE. I’LL TRY TO GET EVERYONE WHO WANTS ONE DELIVERED ON CHRISTMAS!
DARN THINGS ARE SUCH A DISTRACTION TO THE ELVES, I AM AFRAID THAT I WON’T BE READY FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. THEY KEEP ON WANTING TO GAP THE SLEIGH.

hey santa clause i want one.
Re: Re: Photos of 2005 Kris Holm unicycles now at krisholm.com
I tested both 165 and 170’s.
I knew that shorter cranks would be better for cross-country but because I’m oriented towards technical riding I initially thought that 165’s might feel too short for steep climbs and descents.
As it turned out, the 165’s were just fine for this and also had a few advantages:
-easier to absorb shocks when not in the horizontal crank position
-easier to roll out of big drops and steep ramps because you can spin faster.
If you are taking a look at both the KH24 Freeride and the KH24 XC and aren’t planning on doing really agressive riding, I’d say think seriously about getting the XC. The rim on the XC is still really strong (approximately similar to the DX32) and with the lighter tire and rim it’s noticably lighter feeling when pedalling than the Freeride, and the 150mm cranks make better sense for less technical riding. That said, if you like big drops and do a lot of riding in really rocky terrain, the FR is still the way to go.

Is the new Onza hub stronger than the old?
The ultimate strength is the same on the KH-Onza hub because the spline pattern and diameter are the same. But it should be more durable because the tapered axle ends and split washers are designed to prevent the creaking that, over the long term, wears out your axle splines.
Also, internally splining the flanges is a much stronger way to attach a hub to an axle, compared to the keyways on the old KH or Onza hubs. This should eliminate any possible loosening of the axle in the hub.
The hub is also slightly lighter. Importantly, the flanges are also much improved- this makes your rim stronger because the spokes can support it better.

You mean… no more annoying creaking???
HALLELUJIAH
I want one!!
Too late for me!
If this unicycle had been out last year at this time, I definitely wouldn’t have plunked down $1600 on a Wilder. 
These unicyles are as bad as computers!
You have not mentioned that the flanges are also a lot further out so making a noticably more rigid wheel.

Re: Too late for me!
you didnt see that coming? $550 for a frame is crazy! Props to Scott for designing the frame though, somone had to do it…
these new KH frames are cool but time will be kinder to the original steel versions since Aluminum gets brittle over time.
not to bump a slightly old thread, but anyone know what(if any) the warranty is on the onza/KH2005 hub/crank set? its quite a bit cheaper than the profiles and i’m trying to determine if the profile is worth the extra $$. thanks
Warranty is: If the KH/Onza breaks due to a manufacturing defect, it’s warrantied. If you land badly off an 9 foot drop to flat concrete and it bends, that wouldn’t be warrantied. Otherwise the 95% of people who don’t break cranks would be paying extra to fund replacements to the 5% of people who are really hard on their equipment.
Kris
That sounds very fair to me.
sounds totally fair kris. these parts will stand up to crazy amounts of abuse though, right? i’m sure they’re stronger than the drops i can do anyway. thnx for the response. anyone know the exact details on the profile warranty? i looked around and couldn’t find it anywhere.
The Profile hub is worth the extra money if you happen to have a frame with machined bearing holders that was designed for 40 mm bearings. The Onza/KH hub uses 42 mm bearings and will not fit in a frame with 40 mm machined bearing holders. The Profile is “worth” the money in that case because there is no other alternative. Well Qu-ax and some others may be an alternative if they happen to use 40 mm bearings. I don’t know what size bearings Qu-ax uses.
My KH Pro frame uses 1-5/8" bearings. That’s 41.275 mm. I don’t know if there is enough slop in there to fit a 42 mm bearing or not. I doubt a 42 mm would fit. So in my case I’m stuck with Profile.
Profile also has some crank length options not available on the Onza/KH. And the Onza/KH has a few crank length options that are not available on Profile.
