Recently I bought a 24 Muni myself and I love it. I’m actually using it more than my 26 Muni. Much easier to control when trying to do some technical stuff… A good size wheel to improve my Muni skills without breaking my neck!
Can’t help you regarding what your Uni is actually made of… Looks great though
They were the only 2 pics I saved before he took the ad down. There was a close up of the hub though, and it’s definitely got the Kris Holm signature across it.
The frame you’ve posted looks nothing like this one.
Looking at this thread I’d say it’s an early kh frame.
I hadn’t thought of getting hold of replacement parts… Now you’ve got me thinking I should pass
I saw it yesterday and wanted it too , it’s back again but he wants 60£ now, and I have already 24 one.
I live far away from there but in Leicester is juggling convention and thought I can kill two birds with one stone
Ah cool it’s back up. Here is the link to the full ad, with closer pics of various parts
E2A I’m probably the time waster he mentions in his ad… I wasted all of about 3 hours between saying I’d like to buy it, and deciding it wasn’t for me (which I text him to say)
I’m not sure why he’s bumped the price up by a tenner lol!
I still think it’s a lot of unicycle for "L"80. Most “normal” unicyclists probably could never break the axle unless they really, really worked at it. I’m sure it will find a home.
For 80 pounds it is a decent unicycle. You would get more than 80 pounds of life out of it and if you muni but no other riders in your area do it would make a good spare so lend so that you dont have to muni on your own. However the crank length and inability to change them without changing the hub would suck. Still very usable however.
Unsure of the bearing spacing on that frame. If it is similar to current KH’s you could change the hub and cranks and it would be better
Juni,are you the Unicyclist I saw riding around Lincoln university a while ago ? I think it was a 26” or 29” unicycle, I couldn’t get out of the car quick enough to have a proper look. The person was riding past the sports complex.
I have ridden around Lincoln once, a couple of years ago, and I was on a 26"
At the time I was out for a ride with a friend on his bike. We ended up having a blast in the quarry
So yes, it might have been me!
If you’re ever in the area give me a shout, I’m always up for a uni meet up
That’s what a lot of us had back in the day. My Wilder came with 170s, and Mike Tierney (AspenMike) uses something like that or longer for his Road rides in the high country.
Once you start adding brakes to your unicycles (and making them lighter) those long cranks start to be unnecessary.
