no offence to anyones plans or anything, But can i just get a round
crown Ti, or strong aluminum alloy frame?

Just round crown, nothing special, just a frame like nimbus round crown
or something.

really, it'll be way cheaper for parts, probably easier to make. If you
can give me some sort of a discount or something for a first batch one,
of like test frames, i'll make sure i give it a run for its money and
test it to the extreme for trialsing. I dont need much for anything,
just a simple round crown frame.

unless you wanna go all hard and senseless stuff, maybe quick release
baring holders? Machined baring holders? idk. It doesnt matter much to
me.

I think the point in having people testing is to put it up against
something that not many other people will. Are you really that good?

Theres nothing wrong with a flat top frame. They beat the hell out of
rounded top ones. Going with a rounded crown only restricts you from
being able to do freestyle and flat.

....

Please dont post my oldish videos.

Ive grown in ability a bit in my opinion.

All i can say is, if you got me one of those frame for a bit of a
discount, i'd go buy some ankle braces, and try and go big enough to
break a part on my uni. I know my wheel set wont break. I'll even true
the spokes and stuff to make sure so.

Hell, i'll even make a documentary of it for a week.

At the end of the day unibikeling, you're so eager it's just plain
obvious that you want a cheap new frame for your unicycle, and you
can't really keep insisting that someone must make a frame to your
specification, when you are the only one that is going to buy it!

or i could just ask for someone to build one? I'm sure i could go up to
my metal shop teacher and ask him to build one, and he would. I'm just
looking for a round crown Ti, or Aluminum Allow Trials frame. Intead of
all this hybrid crap, that would take a lot of machining, welding, and
who knows what else to take up a lot of time and money. Not saying it
wouldnt be a good thing for a hybrid frame like that. I'm just saying i
could care less for everyone trying to make a unique design, that works
well.

Idk, if i cant get a round crown frame here, i'll have my brother build
an alum one up. (which would take a few months to do)

Seriously, what is wrong with the frame you have? Or a KH frame? or a
Nimbus round crown frame or an XTP frame?

You can't expect somebody to do something specifically for you exactly
the way you want it, at a cost to them, and then give it to you for as
cheap as possible.

The idea of this thread -is- to come up with a new frame design/new
frame to satify the market, which is not just one person.

umm... Here...

Ti round crown frame, copying that of the nimbus round crown, but this
has 2 patches of grip tape on the frame.

And i'm not saying make it cheap for me. Hell, do whatever for the
price lol. All i'm saying, is i dont need any fancy frame designs. If
he would be to make it, i'd be willing to pay a good price for it.

The frame I have is a DX frame, enough said?

If not, there are no Ti KH, nimbus, or XTP frames.

I only asked for aluminum because for some stupid reason I thought it'd
be cheaper than the KH.

unless your doing specific trials... Which is why round crown frames
are normally used be trialsists, from what i know, so you dont bash
your legs/knees on the crown as easy.

I mean, Chris was saying to have like 2 designs at the start of all
this, one for like flat/street, and another for trials or something.
Thats what i've done, all i want is a round crown frame lol.

Hahaha.... He wants to test stuff to make sure it is safe for others?.


I'd be in a round crown ti frame if I every had a few extra hundreds.
You could probably save more weight by spending that few 100's on your
pedals.

If anyone is realy gonna make a Ti trial frame, copying a XTP is not a
bad idea.
I'm very happy with the design of the XTP unicycle frame, but it could
be lighter and stronger. So, a Ti XTP would be sick if it's not to
expensive.
