  1. My latest uni arrived today, I have been out riding on it quite a bit
    already and it feels realy nice so I am realy pleased with it. I even
    managed to glide a few revs 😄 I quickly took a photo of it but the
    camera was playing up so the colours are slightly off. I think I may
    spray the top of the seat post black so it looks nicer (I know I should
    have ordered it with a black one)

    specs:

    nimbus X 2007 frame
    nimbus gel saddle
    qu-ax 114 freestyle cranks
    primo V-monster 20x2.1" tyre
    MKS indoor freestyle pedals
    Aluminium eyeleted double-walled rim

    heres a pic of it:

  3. nice setup. I myself have a bone stock nimbus x. I would suggest that
    you use some loctite on the cranks if it doesn't have it already. mine
    kept coming lose until i used some threadlocker.

    it is pretty odd how the colors turned out in the picture.

    The photograph looks the way it does because there wasn't enough light
    when he originally took the photograph and it was probably brightened
    up on the computer.

    Nice setup you have there, how do you like that frame for stand up /
    one footed tricks?

    Tada:

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

  6. The newer picture is a lot better... with the first one, I thought the
    paint was all messed up, but really nice set up. Are you going to go
    from some 540 unispins with it? Bet you could make it.... ok, this is
    making me drool.

    My brother had been playing around with the settings and didnt want me
    to change it so I just took it quickly then bought up the light levels
    on the computer.

    The frame is realy nice for 1ft tricks, I cant stand up ww yet so cant
    say how that is but its very nice for 1ft riding and 1ft ww

    I will try some 540s soon but at the moment im concentrating on my 1ft
    ww and gliding. Its easy to spin so I dont think I will have a problem
    with that, its just hand positioning im not sure of.

    If you can't buy it in Europe, you can have it shipped if you don't
    mind the extra $$$ for shipping i'm assuming. 😄 😄

    I know I thought that, I think I may spray them at some point. At least
    its not too obvious, I will email UDC about them later.

    Yeah, I have that frame and they gave me matching black bearing
    holders. Maybe they ran out or something.
