Your local bike shop can order them from QBP. Part # FS2069. The price
is dictated by the shop.

I am taking orders for wheels now. 26" are available now with the Gazz
26x3, with the 26x3.7 Surly tire when available; 24" with appropriate
tire when the rim is available. We can do unicycles too, possibly with
a GB4 frame, or with other alternatives. Contact me using the
www.livewireunicycles.com links if you are interested!

It's good to be picky. Thanks for taking the time to do this right!

Good question. Not having ridden this, I would guess that it would get
quite bouncy at higher (rider-specific) cadences. I wonder if the Moab
riders have any comments on that.

Dave,

Your Endomorph muni has a brother now. I used ovalized cromoly tubing
instead of rectangular tubing.

The machined aluminum frame was cool, but I needed some more
clearance...

I didn't notice a problem with bounciness, but I don't think it would be
competitive with a decent 29er tire on a XC course, simply because the
fat tire hates to turn.

Also beautiful. How much clearance have you given yourself? Have you
ridden it much yet? Do you hit your legs on the frame often? I love
the look of ovalized tubing. :)

*Tom:*
I'd agree on a true XC course, though the tire does turn a lot better on
dirt. It also turns better at higher psi's (I was at 7 or 8 psi in
Moab).

*Andrew:*
About 3/8" on the sides, and 5/8" on top. Overall the frame is about
5.38" wide. I don't have a problem with knee clearance, I suspect
clipping the top corners helped.

*Lee:*
Weight? Not noticeably more than a normal 26" muni. Again, production
tires will be *lighter* than a Gazz.

My uni was built for a snow race, so splined cranks would just be extra
weight/expense. Kookas are pretty solid square-taper cranks.

I built my own from parts, using one of George's frames... It hasn't
arrived yet (due on Friday) and the tyre isn't for sale from Surly yet,
but as soon as both arrive it'll be sorted.

The wheelset I've made up consists of a KH/Onza Splined Hub with DDG
Driver cranks, DMR V12 pedals, a Surly Large-Marge Rim ands Its
currently running a 26x3 gazz.

I know there's another 3.7" Compatible frame in sweden, shapr is making
one.

Loose.

Thanks Klaas, I'm hoping it'll look a whole lot nicer with the frame
attached! I can't wait until friday.

Just re-read my own post, and realised this could be misinterpreted...
Shapr is making a 3.7" Muni, using one of Georges frames. He's not (as
could be assumed by the wording above) making 3.7" frames.

Sorry for any confusion.

Loose.

I got my new frame from George last friday. I'll post some pictures when
I get some taken. The frame turned out really nice. I'm also waiting on
the Surly tire, plus, I need to get a longer crossoover hose for my
Magura brake.

cheers... Joe
