I share the feeling of being in a boat of parts - waiting a hub.
That’s a nice looking frame. Is that something you made yourself?
Thank you, frame and handle is selfmade for 125mm disk hub. As i have an old Schlumpf hub in 36, i have no problems with waiting for the new one.

Sexy, like the mud/splash guard!
AWS, really like your repurposed handles.
Sadly it’s not as cheap a solution anymore. It was a mud guard and one of the ones that goes in your seat rails on a bike from Decathlon but the price has doubled for both recently so it went from a $9 total solution to a $20 solution which is the same as a clip on fender.
I ended up going through several clip on fenders 2 winters ago and found out you don’t need to make it really tight on the frame, if it can rotate a bit of will turn instead of breaking in a fall. So my other 29" has just a clip on fender.

Now’s my turn to post a picture of one of my Sclumpfs! Here’s my newly-rebuilt G29er:
List of parts:
- Schlumpf hub #0821
- BF36
- LightBicycle EN932 carbon rim
- WTB Ranger Light Fast Rolling 29x3" tire
- DT Swiss Competition double-butted spokes
- KH Spirit cranks 127/150
-
Flat/clipless Rockrider pedals - those may change in the future, I’m not sure what I’d like to keep on that wheel later
- Shimano SM-RT 86 brake rotor 203mm - it had to be reworked to keep only the external part, as for all BrakeFasts
- Shimano SLX 7120 4-piston caliper and lever
- KH Fusion One saddle
- KH pivotal seatpost
- KH t-bar
It has been rebuilt yesterday so I have not put a lot of kilometres on it. But it looks like it’s a wonderful beast 
BTW, I have only 3 buttons for my 2 Schlumpfs because I lent one to a friend… So I have ridden only in high gear since yesterday. I’ll try to get my 4th button in the next days so I can finally have my 2 wheels usable at the same time!

That’s a lovely looking machine Maxence!
I’m curious how fiddly it was to get the rotor section off. I am hoping it can be done with varying sizes of metal drill bit, as I still haven’t invested in a dremel (silly - I’d use it!)
Contemplating moving my 200 series hub into a BF equipped 27.5” ride… 
That was tricky. I didn’t have the tools myself. So I had to find people who had them. Then, we found out that the rotor was really sturdy. It took us a long time and lots of effort to get the section off. Maybe we hadn’t the exactly right tools, not sure.
Once we had the section off, I haven’t paid attention to the irregularities of the rotor, where we had drilled it. And I hadn’t any tools to fix that. So I have used my 2 rotors that were not sitting flat for a while. Until I got a Dremel a month ago!

Well I will have to tackle that problem when I get there 
(Probably just have to get a Dremel!)
I have got to say the BrakeFast is so amazingly machined. It’s stunning too in anodised black.
Just wow. I can feel this will be a seriously fun upgrade project

A “BrakeFasted” Schlumpf is like a whole new hub. It’s way better than a “simple” Schlumpf hub. You’ll discover a whole new world with that upgrade!

Given that I’m seeing other people’s hubs arriving and that builds are going pretty fast it seems, wanted to give this thread a cheeky wee plug/bump 
(In other words, I’m eager to see what people create!!)

Allright I’ve had a disc on my hub for years, probably the first ever on a schlumph. Also it’s on my old square taper so it is a great ride with a well modulated brake. Original 29er.

Thanks of course goes to Florian and @jaco_flans for the core hardware - but also to all those that helped me resolve puzzlements over the (many) posts I’ve shared this last year

As with the previous post, thanks goes to the same people who were core to bringing this to life!
Words fail me on this one as it has built up better than I had imagined. And I’d been picturing it is high definition for a good year or so

Wow they are both so beautiful! They need to just go on display in a case and never be ridden!

Thanks!… Yeah - thats the aim here (not) - but they do certainly make nice decorations round the house when not being ridden.
I’ve sometimes been asked when pushing a unicycle around: “Can you ride that?” - and if I’ve been in impish mood I’ve said: “Nah, I just like pushing them around 
”

Nice builds!
In both build lists, you specified everything but the crank length

Thanks!!
Don’t know how I forgot that item. Fixed (both are KH 127/150s)

They both look amazing and you must be well pleased with them. Ive not really followed this thread as schlumpf is not a target for me, Im guessing the build of these has taken a while?

Thanks so much. I’m still pinching myself that they’re actually here and in-spite of some issues getting them set up I am very pleased how they turned out.
Started picturing these back in January 2022 when we learned that new hubs were coming. So yes they’ve been a long time in the grand scheme of things. I’ve never planned a unicycle build or project that took 1+ year and this is my first time going full custom with frame and wheel builds and all the other aspects.
But now the riding and using them starts and the serious challenges of riding high geared wheels shifts into a new space.
I want my skills at riding to always be greater than my skills at buying/assembling wheels. I confess to enjoying the latter but it (I feel) should always help develop the former - and one ideally doesn’t built unicycles just for their own sake.
