So cool to see Dmitry set up.
Really enjoyed the video, thanks for highlighting this. I just took delivery of my new Tritao frame today; this makes me even more excited to get it built up and ride it!
Unicycle frame? P I C T U R E S ! ! !
@On_a_wheel has also just received and built up a new Tritao frame and I know @mindbalance has one from the 1st batch of their 3d printed uni frames too
This looks amazing! When can we meet for a ride so I can have a go
?
Wow, what a beauty! That’s really a sweet frame.
I don’t dare asking what it cost, but I dare asking how light it is…
Oh, and the bearing holders appear to be Schlumpf compatible. Hope the frame legs are, too.
It certainly set me back a few quid (1200 Euros), but I only really have one uni, and it’s my main hobby, so don’t mind investing a bit in it. Will I really feel the difference over any other frame?!; Maybe, maybe not, but it’s really cool having something so unique and it’s definitely more durable and so if nothing else, should last me a long time.
I’ll have to weigh it before I build it and see.
I’m not sure about schlumpf compatibility for my frame, as I won’t be using it for that purpose, but the frames are built to the exact spec that you request so I’m sure they can be.
Well, I guess if it‘s your only uni (how can you live with only one, particularly if it‘s your main hobby?) the price is a bit less critical than if you buy more unis than, say, new clothes.
They can build pretty much any geometry, right? I genuinely wonder whether they could build a V-Frame design for a G36. That, in my mind, would be the ultimate racing machine. Light, stiff and capable of supporting an aerobar setup. But I shudder to imagine the cost, on top of a Schlumpf hub ![]()
it’s a bargain if you compare the costs with another midlife crisis project like a Harley-Davidson.
You could probably get something similar from @jaco_flans … I don’t know where he is yet about Ti frames, but he has been working on it for quite some time (as far as I know, he has at least one muni in Ti, but doesn’t currently sell frames).
My ambitions are midlife crisis sized, but my budget is still quarter-life sized ![]()
Well I only really interested in Muni so I just need 1 decent Muni. Also the Mrs would notice an extra uni every few months, but not an upgrade to the only uni every few months ![]()
That‘s an interesting approach! On the other hand, if you manage to achieve a critical mass, you’re likely capable to sneak in another uni unnoticed. And there are only so much upgrades possible on a single uni…
all it takes is 1 frame, 1 seat, a handlebar, a brake and 15 different wheels.
I was expecting you to say „all it takes are 15 different ultimate wheels“…
I am aware there is more in this world than just Ultimate Wheels, but yeah the first thing I think about when waking up is my UW and when driving to work, I look at all the cycle paths and wonder how far I could come on those while riding UW. My biggest issue now is free-mounting, so I spend a lot of time thinking of different more controlled ways to mount it. Im totally hooked.
My wife has no idea how many unicycles I have. To be fair to her though, neither do I.
The critical mass appears to be enough to form a sizeable pile, and enough to also store an indeterminate number in a different location.
Hey ![]()
Do you know how heavy it is, compared to a standard aluminum frame? Same weight, lighter, heavier? ![]()
