yea it will work but why not just get a new uni from the start? yer
prety much doing that but it might cost even more than just buying a
full uni.

why do you want a new frame first?
a wheelset is the integral part of the unicycle
i'd do it the ALMOST opposite direction, except a KH wheelset won't fit
nicely into a torker frame
i think the torker frame is fine for strength, but the rim/axle/cranks
suck, so i'd get a new wheel first
in fact
i'd save up for the whole KH muni (like i did after killing my torker
lx)
i split the price w/ my parents for a b-day present (i'm 14, i could've
afforded the whole thing and more, but wanted to save money) that
approach might work for you if you have a b-day in the next 3-5 months,
just ask for an "early b-day" present

yea but a KH is 520 so $100 less= 420 the hub and frame and rim and tire
must = more than 420$

Pedals:
About $10

Brakes:
eBays prices will vary insanely. Theres a $30 knex set up there right
now i might because its only at a penny. I don't think anyone has seen
it, lol.

Anyway, MUni NO BREAKS will cost about $555. Im looking at the KH 05
Freeride for $520, but I don't see a way of adding breaks. Sooo, is
that right? And is all this planning right? Will this be better than
the 05 freeride? Am I forgetting any parts?

I'm pretty sure the freeride has brake mounts and you can see them in
the pic plus it has the extension on the seat post for the brake-lever.

A new wheelset will run you a bit more, but the new frame, when it comes
out, will be around $125.

If anything, ditch the frame. Unless your old frame is cracked or
horribly bent, you don't need a new one! Don't listen to the
component-[censored] who just want to look trendy, go for functionality
(over blowing wads of cash) and if you want a new look, just paint the
thing yourself!

And if you've never built a wheelset before I'd recommend buying it
assembled. It's worth the extra dough (and it's not all that much more)
to have something you know is built correctly and will stay true longer
than if you cobbled it together yourself. Save the "intro to
wheelbuilding" for your backup uni (if you've got one), or practice on a
b*ke wheel first.

Oh, and post pics when you're done! Make jagur jealous!

Don't be so sure. Machine-built wheelsets are often priced lower than
the sum of the parts that go into them. From unicycle.com, I can buy
a 2004 KH wheelset for $259. It costs a few dollars more to piece one
together from parts (though you'll have a better product with 2005
KH/Onza hub and cranks).

Build a wheel from parts for the experience, the satisfcation, the
custom selection of parts, etc. To save money, go with a KH wheelset
(but be sure to tension and stress relieve it to improve quality).

Have you actually checked prices?

At unicycle.com, A 2005 KH Freeride costs less than the parts to build
a lesser unicycle based on 2004 KH24 frame and wheelset. Maybe if you
have a line parts at discount prices, or select lower quality
components.

By the way, I also checked Bedford's price list. Darren charges $624
(canadian dollars) for that 2005 Freeride. He doesn't sell KH frames,
but the rest adds up to $486. Sure you can buy a frame for less than
$138, but it won't have the stiffness or light weight of the 2005 KH
frame.

As other have already pointed out, the bottom line is it is often
cheaper to buy a complete unicycle than assembling it piece by piece.
