    Hey everyone,

    I just thought that I would show you this Unicycle frame that I made in
    my year 10 metalwork class. For our last project we were allowed to
    make whatever we wanted as long as it didn't use to much metal. I
    grabbed the thickest strongest metal I could find from the workshop and
    shaped it so that it all joined together. I nearled the top peice in
    class and then welded it all together at home.

    I really like it even though it weighs 1.3 kg.

    I don't know how to post multiple pictures so I will post some more in
    a sec

    you should learn to weld but the frame looks cool, even if it's so
    heavy!!
    it would be strong.

    nice work, i like the slash cut on the crown tube to make it easier on

    powder coat it and it would look like most frames. of course that would
    kill your ability to show it off as your own creation. That looks
    really sweet.

    Nice work, keep your torch a little more consistent in speed and angle
    and you'll have a better looking weld. Though it will never look as
    nice as a TIG weld, it's function over looks for me.

    That's pretty cool. It's always more fun riding a uni that you built.
    You ought to be able to get that powder coated for a few bucks. Find a
    powder coat shop and see if they'll just let you add it to a lot that
    someone else is getting done. You don't get to choose your color that
    way but what the heck. It's hard to argue with 'cheap.'

    What did you use for bearing holders?

    It looks great and it has to be a lot of fun riding something you built
    yourself. I built a 5' Uni in my tenth grade metal shop class but that
    was in 19751 Ha! Yours looks a lot better!!!!

    Looks like normal Nimbus or Qu-ax holders.
    Prety cool job, but you might beter weld something on that angled tube
    you use for a crown.
    Will not be fun when you scrape half your knee off with it.

    Yeah, I just used some old nimbus bearing holders from a broken
    unicycle I had and I was surprised that they fitted onto the onza/kh
    wheel because i looked it up on unicyclist.com and they are different
    sizes and stuff.
