    unicycle. This thing is awesome.

    I don't know the history of the frame but it's called "Rowing" A name
    along side "Hunter, KH" etc.

    Anyway, nice looking frame!

    It's a production frame made in Europe by Joe Rowing.

  10. Here is what Joe Rowing wrote me about that specifc frame:

    "It was specially made to order and if I remember correctly it has
    slightly more height clearance than the other early ones. I believe it
    will fit a gazalodi although I prefer a halo or kujo as they have a more
    agile, rounder profile.
    Everything on it was produced by myself. the machineing, tube bending,
    brazing etc.
    The material is T45 and 4130 cromo tube and I use special high strength
    brazing filler.
    The seat tube was made for a 22.2 cro-mo BMX post to be used with any of
    the rail-adaptors or my own carbon bonded rail seats.
    That said the standard 22.0 will *probably* just about fit.
    The bearing holders are precision machined to take the 40mm bearings of
    the profile hub. the standard square-taper hubs will also fit.
    - the frame pre-dates the KH hubs and the more recent KH MKII hubs
    (which I helped design)
    The finish is powder-coating, the inside is all waxoiled to rust-proof.

    If you're curious about the design - it was built to my own design as
    the best MUni that money could produce.
    the twin-tubes are to reduce width of the frame whilst still providing
    plenty of clearance. It had to be steel to allow a little bit of zing
    when flicking it through singletrack.
    The twin stay at the back supports the rear stay in a much stiffer and
    lighter way than the Hunter. "

    Umm there's clearance for 3inch tyres like the gaz/kuo/duro tyres (which
    it has in there).

    I'm very happy you're pleased with it. It looks good!

    Just to be pedantic it's a 24 inch "Blizzard" frame. Other designs/wheel
    sizes etc are available.

    "Rowing" is the surname of the builder although Officially it was sold
    under the "One wheel Only" brand.

    not true, i had a Wide Bite in my Rowing frame and it was closer to the
    stays...a Gazz will fit but rub the sides under hard cranking.
