Steel sure seems to be what everybody likes to make their unicycles out of. But
it’s kinda heavy. Are there any Uni manufacturers out there that use, say,
aluminum alloy? – we’re talkin’ cranks, frame, seat post, and rim. If there
are, how much do they run?

I don’t know what advanatage there would be to an alminium frame over the a
Miyiata CrMo frame. Infact I think it might be heavier. But I do agree with you
that weight is a big issue, hence the Carbon Fibre Uni, I have a page with some
photos (not of the new ones though) and some of the history. http://home.clara.net/theatre/carbon_uni.html As for Aluminium seat posts I
havn’t found anyone selling them, so I have had a batch made.
