Frame is done, minus any finishing I may decide to do to the Aluminum. when I popped the wheel in, I was reminded It was never dished when it was builtā¦.. Since the person who laced it up for me didnāt have a good way to hold it in a stand, so they just left it for me to do. Oh well, roads are all covered in salt here right now anyway.

Thanks! I do like how it came out. It has a brake rotor in case i ever decide to put a brake on it. 
That is one of the nicest unicycles I have ever seen, great job.

Normally, I have at least one unicycle in the trunk of my car ready for a ride after work. This requires folding one of the rear seats down. With all the merry Christmas logistics recently, full person carrying capacity was needed and all three unis were present in my workshop. I took the opportunity to take an alternative family photo.
All three unis are of the Nimbus brand. I find that when it comes to cost, quality and availability Nimbus is hard to beat. There are fancier unis, design or weight wise, out there. In this forum I can read about cool Mad4one champagne coloured rims, Qu-Ax RGB anodised frames and even unis of carbon and titanium. I always thought that in the future I would acquire more fancy unicycles but as time goes by, it seems less and less likely. I feel that my unicycle family is rather complete. A uni for the road, a uni for the forest and single track and a uni for messing about at home. Although the uni-rack has room for moreā¦
The 20ā uni was bought to replace the no-name, lollipop bearing, ass torturing seat of a uni I bought in a second hand shop to see if my body and sense of balance was still up to it.
Does anyone have an idea as to what model it is and years produced? I think it is un-modified except for the tire that needed replacement. Even the L and R stickers were still intact. I was surprised to see that it had Qu-Ax cranks.
āYou can have one or you can have many. You can never have two.ā I have heard that said about owning motorbikes and even boats but with regard to unicycles, I actually do not know any unicyclists who only owns oneā¦ and perhaps only owning three is quite rare?

The more unicycles, the more L and R stickers. I think I will find all the ones I have and put them on an x-mas card and send it to @Wheelou

Yes, you could have a bonfire from all of Setonixās stickers judging from the size of his collection! 
Just one postcard will never do.

@Wheelou whatās your opinion on the URC frame stickers?
I removed the Flansberrium stickers from my warthog frameā¦ Need I say more?
Yes, you need say more
New picture of āThe beastā after finally having ridden it. Grip is crazy when the road surface is clean and Iām not used to a knobbie tire. I road it on a mix of snow, wet and dry road/sidewalk. The tire picked up about 5 lbs of snow, had to rinse it off when I got to my office (still wet in photo). I probably want a little more air pressure for roads but it seemed it would be really good for offroad. Eventually I will look into getting a brake set up, and if I hit the lottery I will swap that rim for a tubeless ready carbon fiber fat bike rim and drop about 3-4lbs of rotating mass.
