Thank you. Your position is not as hunched as it looked to me from your original picture, probably because the whole frame ends up being rotated backwards.
Actually, there is always some front to back rocking…which is part of the balancing act right?..If you pause the video at the right times…you will see the frame perfectly vertical , and my knee cap just over my toes, which is ultimately my design goal. Going more or less lower on body position is not as relevant I think for a non geared distance Unicycle.
True that wind doesn’t bother me as much as it does in a standard more vertical position, but it is also true than I have not experimented huge differences for different positions around the one I’m using now.
New saddle…
Got a new saddle and rode 170 miles during last couple weeks on it. Longest ride this last Saturday was 47 miles.
Saddle sore is in the past…
SPLINE-BARS DELIVER!!!
I just added my name on the 100 miles rider log on a different thread of this forum.
I rode with my custom design as shown on pictures;
Only videos I have were taken from behind …will post ASAP.
…more pictures…Including Finish line…when everybody else was gone, 13 hours and 7 minutes elapsed time, 9 hours 1 minute moving time.

With this…I have nothing else to post about my Spline-bars
I recently made a handlebar out of a scooter.
More pictures here: http://www.unicyclist.ca/?p=3564
Nice work…
I like what you’ve done there Ebevensee, and congrats on that ride!
My bars aren’t that custom…just a standard T7 handlebar from Unicycle.com with some drops from REI added on. I really like the set-up so far though, and it’s been great for some recent MUni action too.
Wow, unihopper those are sweet handlebars 
What’s that part that looks like stem, recycled b*ke? 
Whole concept looks clean.
Thanks! It is the neck of a scooter welded to the part of a bike where you insert the seatpost.
117 page 8 above by Hugo seems like a clean setup.
Has anyone tried it for Muni?
I’ve never looked at a KH brake mount. Does the alignment work out for the # 117 setup?
What was the “t” handle made from that the bar ends attach to? Was is off something or fabed?
(Sorry I couldn’t get the pic to show up when quoted, so I had to reference #117)
THANKS! Andy
I made one similar to that that I used for MUni for about a year until the mount broke.
Here was mine when it was first made
Chunk of seatpost stuck on a brake mount flipped backwards with extra mounting holes drilled in seat base. back end of a T7 bar clamped on with replaceable bar ends.
I am going to make a replacement mount sooner or later but instead of starting with a brake mount I am going to weld a tube onto a plate that goes all the way back to the front seatpost bolts (like a KH reinforcement plate).
Strong, light, great for muni.
The sand used in making casting molds works pretty well it the ends of the tube can be closed off. The tubing we had was threaded on each end on the inside so sealing the ends with a bolt was a snap, plus it compacted the sand even more. Tamp the sand firmly into the tube, never thought of it til just now but guessing the tube could be heated a bit to aid in bending. hmm
I need a stoker stem, preferably 27.2mm for the seatpost, and the open end needs to be 22.2mm. Problem solvers had one in these dimensions, but they’ve been discontinued and I can’t find any available. If anyone has one of any brand with these dimensions, and aren’t using it, let me know. I would like to buy it. If necessary I can get away with the next size up from 27.2 and just shim it, but the open end should still be 22.2, which is where my kh t-handle will fit into. Thanks!

These are my handlebars I’m doing for a project for my degree. they really are as simple as it gets.and you can hold a really nice tuck comfortably
Can’t see your pictures
Your pics did not show, can you try again? Would love to see them!
