Bedford Unicycles was the only place that sold one of these, and I just had to get it! A lot of email communication between Darren Bedford and myself resulted in successful PayPal payment and a bumpy yet successful Canada Post service from Toronto to the UK.

(sorry for the bad quality of some pictures, I took them with my Samsung phone!) :o
After weeks of agony and hair-ripping, I’m very pleased with the result!
I’d like to say a thanks to Darren Bedford for being so helpful and patient with me throughout this, and Roger Davies for giving me some very useful advice along the way!
Tell me what you think of the stuff! Good or bad comments.
I forgot to mention earlier that it’s just the KH frame and Zack shirt I got off Bedford Unicycles. No way could I get a whole uni for 200 canadian dollars! Plus Bedford don’t do Koxx wheels do they
Amanda, I didn’t get the new 07, for a few reasons. I didn’t like the blue colour of it, and it would cost a bit to get it powdercoated black etc… and also I like to be different, steel is real, aluminium is err… brittle over time…
Ryan Atkins actually bought one of the last steel ones from Bedford 10 days before me, I’ve been talking to him about it, as he was using it as a ‘normal riding’ frame before his 07 comes to him. All’s dandy, except that it’s extremely heavy! I have 3 black trials frames in my room, a Devil, a KH04, and a KH05… The KH04 is heaviest, with the KH05 feeling like nothing!
Still haven’t ridden it yet though! Need loctite to dry on the bearing housing threads.
That is a good begginner trials uni but its got a cotterless hub and a brutal seat, for the same price you could have gotten a splined torker or 50 dollars more a nice qu-ax trials.
ya whel i still would have poot more monney in to ti but the only place i could find a uni is at my lbs and that was the best 1 they had and i dident really want to get 1 shiped
I think 2006/2007 rims from Tryall come with colored sidewalls.
Probailer, it weighs quite a lot as a whole uni, not sure exactly how much, but the frame and seat combination are quite light. It’s the Koxx wheel that adds soo much weight.
and here are some new pics:
Some battle scars from last night’s ride: (never do big wall-to-wall gaps when you’re not 100%, I killed my palms trying to bail from that!)
I just can’t resist taking another photo of this clamp:
