Fluffinator,
Sorry about the delay. I don’t spend much leisure time in front of the
computer these days, due to the back injury that is aggravated by too
much sitting, or too much standing, or too much of anything that
provides a chance for the back to stiffen up. Luckily, unibiking is the
best thing for it since I’m leaning forward with much of my weight being
supported by my arms, my lower back is in constant motion to control the
balance, and my legs are constantly moving. This doesn’t leave much time
for things to stiffen up. A series of spinal injections are only a few
days away, followed by possible back surgery.
If you haven’t found the requested building tips by now, take a look at
this thread. 'How to Turn an Artistic Bike' (http://tinyurl.com/2hnc3)
It explains much of the details of my favorite pedal powered toy.
You might also benefit from some of the threads concerning this
contraption. A username search for ‘unibiker’ should provide some
additional rambling about the project. Please consider the danger
involved in cutting the forks off. Dismounts can be painful! It’s just
as much fun to ride with the front wheel in place if it’s not windy, and
it’s much safer.
Good luck.
