Kris Holm Unicycles Status report

Hi All,

As some of you are aware, there were some delays in offshore
production of the KH hub, which resulted in Unicycle.com and
Bedford Unicycle's orders being delayed for a couple of
months. This has been very frustrating to say the least!

The hubs finally arrived last week in Taiwan, and the
unicycles are being assembled for shipment within the next
week. That still means a late May arrival date but I
thought that those of you with KH unis on order might
appreciate the update.

Jerseys are being made as we speak. Shorts are in the
prototype stage. I had to switch designers due to
reliability issues, but I've now found a really good
designer to work with.

It would cost a LOT do do this (thousands of dollars),
actually more than the cost of the unis.

Also, a very important issue with efficient
manufacturing/shipping is to not make any difficult changes
or requests right at the end- inevitably this results in
additional confusion and delays. It's true that airfreight
would be faster, but not if the unicycles to be airfreighted
sat for 3 weeks until they managed to deal with the request.
So that leaves waiting a bit more as the best solution. I
wish it was faster, but that's the way it is!

DrBallard, what exactly were you wearing when you typed
that? Were you intending to make a suggestion as to where
Kris should have his clothing manufactured so that it will
be affordable enough to sell in numbers enough to justify
the production? We understand the world has labor issues. Do
you understand the ridiculously small numbers involved in
production for unicycles and unicyclists? You're barking up
the wrong industry.
