  1. Hey, I have an extra bike that no one uses and I was wondering if anyone
    could perhaps lend some tips as to how I should go about forming into a
    unibike - similar if not the same as unibikers.

    I need to know things such as if i need to change any hardware, how and
    where to change seat position, what to remove, if i need to cut anything
    off...etc.

    Thanks for your probable help,
    Cole Chapman

    Jeff Baker (unibiker) would be in the best position to answer. He
    doesn't post here very often anymore but you could give <unibiker {at}
    unicyclist [dot] com> a try. Maybe he has a forward to his regular
    e-mail.

  6. 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.
