  2. I recommend the Nimbus II. It's very strong and great for freestyle or
    trials.

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

  3. I went nimbus II.

    No problems with it what-so-ever. It looks great, weighs only 2 pounds,
    the design makes foot on frame tricks easier because your foot has a
    better grip to the frame and points to the wheel better.

    I have also never hit my knees or anything on the frame, and dont even
    notice it sticking out any or anything like that.

  4. Go bedford.
    They are way stronger than the dx and do not hit your knee like the
    nimbus.
    I had to use a nimbus when my dx broke and i hit my knee all the time.

  5. Are you really sure the Nimbus is weaker? Can you really have evidence
    for it to be stronger?

    I still find it funny how so many people hit their knees, when I havent
    had a problem with it at all.

  7. If you got a nimbus II you wouldnt need to get a new seat post, you
    would with a bedford.

    I forgot that fact.

    Bedfords run 22.2, when a Nimbus II will hold a 25.4.

    Anyways, the 22.2 bend really easily, and the regular size for 25.4 is
    a very strong post, and more posts will fit in that size because its
    more ocmmon.

  9. unicycle.com doesnt seem to have the numbis II anymore.......?

    is it coming back where did it go?

    but anyway, as far as the seat post thing goes....
    well whats a bigger pain is that you will soon need a new seat.....🙁

    havnt had mine to long either. not only is the seat way to big to grab
    for seat out stuff, but the cover has been ripping, and its stappled
    in... might as well make the up grade to a real seat..post...frame...

    myself im goin wiht a bedford. have heard nothing but great service

    i just asked darren about shipping. like 15 or so to the states for
    just the frame.... dont quote me on that tho

  10. yeah, i was looking at the bedford frames too... 15 to ship is
    reasonable from canada... (is it 15 canadian?) how long do you think it
    would take to ship to the u.s.?

    is the seat post thing really that much of a pain? it seems if it was,
    there wouldnt be so many people riding bedfords...

  12. who is going to buy a dx frame, and how cheap would you have to sell
    it... ?
    i was gonna melt mine down and make some rocks hahaha, wonder how much
    torker would sell just a frame..... gotta be less the 35 dollars, i
    guess it would cover the cost fo a new seatpost haha

    .....15 for shipping in either curency is reasonable
