  1. 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?

  4. 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.

  6. 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 [censored], 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)

  8. 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.

    most people aren't going to be doing specific trials and u seem to be
    the only 1 who wants a round crown...

    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.

  15. 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.
