Mine is an original schlumpf 29’er, I like the simplicity of having the best of everything in a compact easy to transport and ride, great look and upgrades.
Here is my new take with the hub. Introducing lunaticas, a.k.a. the Ultimate Commuter, a custom built G29:
The frame says “lunaticas”, but I’m still experimenting with different designs and materials, so you may see it in different stickers.
- Frame: Custom “Saturn” Titanium Frame, Seat Post and Clamp
- Rim: Nextie NXT29XM41
- Hub: KH Schlumpf Hub 2015
- Tire: Surly ExtraTerrestrial 29 Slate-wall
- Tube: RideNow 29’’ TPU
- Spokes: Sapim Race, with Sapim aluminum self-locking nipples
- Brake: Shimano BR-M446/447
- Saddle: KH Fusion Freeride
- Cranks: KH Spirit Double Hole 117/137mm
- Pedals: Unbranded flat pedal
Great uni! But let me correct you on that point:
It isn’t the ultimate commuter as you have no inboard disc. You won’t be able to shift down while braking, which is a game changer for commuting IMHO.
One day it will. Ultimately.
That means I’ll have to learn downshifting first. Hmm.
Progress on my G36 2022/23 Flansberrium-Schlumpf [125mm] unicycle.
Jakob has been amazing in communicating with me and custom building a Flansberrium frame for the 2022/23 Schlumpf 125mm hub.
Hoping to avoid any clash issues we waited for my Schlumpf to be delivered to verify dimensions before assembling/welding the frame.
“Since I didn’t want to have a huge crown, I used my dimple tool I use on bicycle chainstays to make the necessary clearance for the non-disk side.”

I don’t know why but Guni Hatchet is never something I’ve thought of before but looks so cool.
Maybe because it wasn’t possible?
The Hatchet frame requires a 125mm hub, which wasn’t available before this year.
Hatchet Guni looks great!
That’s what I would do with my Schlumpf 125mm hub if I decide, in the future, to drop down a wheel size.

That looks like the beginning of a lot of fun. Gear up and share your photos once you’re riding it. Just a tad envious/jealous, but in the good warm-hearted unicycle way.
I justified all this as my mid life crisis spend. I reckon I only got a couple of decades left to really enjoy it.
By the way have a look at the tee bar I got made for the aerobar set up.
Can’t wait to see this all built
Hi Jaco, beautiful fork, is it aluminium or steel?
