  1. Ok, thanks. I wish it was cheaper, though! Do you think when I order
    them both together the shipping won't be as much as if I ordered them
    seperate?

  3. But I don't have a Sem seat, so the attatchment wouldn't work.

  4. Unless the GB4s have changed, they will fit both KH-style and
    Miyata/Torker-style saddle attachments. This is the reason for the term
    "Universal". The ones that I have do not match the photo, but do match
    both types of attachment.

  5. Well, I think I'll get that GB4 post along with my frame when I get
    enough money. Now I've got $50 to save up!!! Dangit.... :o

  6. Of course it will be cheaper if you order them all together. It costs
    very little extra to throw a seat post in there, but if they have to put
    it in a separate box, it'll cost about the price to ship the frame, over
    again. The GB4 fits both styles of saddles.

  7. I just remembered something.... my Torkers!!! I measured the seatpost
    and it was perfect size. I just took it off, put it on my KH seat, and
    twiddlidum....it worked! Whew, that's $22 off of my frame fund!!! 🙂 😄

  9. I've standupwwed on the sem. longneck, the Yuni frame, and the Torker
    DX, and the DX is definitly the best foot support ever. Although the sem
    wasnt too terribly bad....

  13. For this once I actually read your post expecting something good you had
    to say but of course it was another degrading Evan Byrne specialty. The
    truth is Evan, I have almost learned standup wheelwalk! And I'm sure a
    lot of people will agree and back me up on the fact that no, I'm not
    just a beginner. Also Evan, why did you say on AIM that you think my
    unicycle sucks and I need a new frame, and when I get one you think it's
    stupid and I don't need it? It's just like that time you said I need to
    learn some "advanced tricks" like gliding and backwards wheelwalk, and
    yet when I do learn them, they're just "basic stuff." I'd also like to
    point out that in not shape, way, or form am I getting this frame
    because you told me so on AIM. I just don't want any confusion with
    that.

  15. The bumper sticker comes no matter what; you don't have to ask for it.
    Here's my small-and-growing sticker UDC sticker collection and my cool
    woodburned unicycle sign (there are two stickers missing that I've put
    on my backpack and binder at school):

    That's because you have to spend your money on stuff like food and
    clothes. Because my parents buy that stuff for me (and a lot of
    non-needed stuff also), I get to spend my money on unicycles! Ahhhh,
    it's great to be a little twirp, ain't it?!? 😄

  18. True dat, True dat. But tyler, why not save for a trials unicycle?
    Sure wheel walking is great but there's nothing like busting your
    particulars coming out of a big drop. Plus I can wheel walk fine on my
    trials, I think it might be easier because of the freak n' fat tire.

  19. Yea, but I'm more into freestyle. I guess I could save up for a trials,
    but those cost a LOT more and I'd rather have one nice uni (my
    freestyle) than two just "ok" unis. O yea, freestyle is way more than
    just wheelwalking. 😉

  20. Ok, I just got the shipping confirmed! It says it should be here by
    Monday, but usually it comes one week day before they say it will, so it
    MIGHT be here by Friday. Does anybody have the smaller Primo Wall
    (1.85"😉 tire on the Sem Longneck and if so, is it really small looking
    or is it very much different than the 2.1"? Thanks!
