Hey guys,
I'm selling the red rimmed Profile wheel, as seen in Defect which was used by Zack Baldwin.
Spec is as follows:
Rim- Alex DX32, Bedford powdercoated red,
Hub- Profile, silver
Cranks- Profile, chrome BRAND NEW
I will include all the necessary trimmings to go with it: washers, spacers, smooth bearings, SS Bitchin' bolts (which cost a lot alone).
The wheel is structurally in very good working condition. Absolutely no creaks whatsoever, spins smoothly, straight, and not a single fault about it except for a few scratches along the side of the rim.
The cranks are totally brand new and I can include the Profile warranty and receipt with it.
I WILL ALSO INCLUDE WITH THIS:
KH Fusion Street saddle, brilliant condition, no rips or scratches, red
Try-All 250mm Reinforced seatpost, New condition.
Koxx-One Red seatclamp
Try-All tyre (a bit worn, but very rideable!)
The cranks and splines have been properly fitted and maintained, with copper grease on the splines. The bolts have even been done up evenly in increments to ensure the best fit.
The wheel in itself retails a fair bit over 300 pounds, not to mention, the cranks are brand new and also you get a whole myriad of free new condition components to go with it (worth around 100 pounds new)! A perfect kit for a bare frame!
I'll sell the bundle for 200 pounds only. International buyers please get in contact if you're interested, though the shipping costs might be a bit on the highside considering the amount of parts and weight.

Very tempted, if you still have it when I have enough for it then I'll take it. No worries if it goes before then. I'm owed some money, so I'll see if it can be called in. Any Idea on postage cost?
Sponge
2008-09-11, 09:13 PM
I'm guessing for First Class recorded, around 10-20 pounds... not much really, considering what's been sent. :)
When do you think you'll get enough money? Just to get an idea, if it's not too long i may be able to reserve it
Fraggle
2008-09-11, 09:30 PM
Cool.
Not sure on that, I have mailed 2 people who owe me more than enough, a 3rd person needs cornering, lol. Nah, don't reserve it, if you find a buyer then go for it, I can't guarantee how soon I could get the money.

Sorry Conrad, but I'm not really ever going to sell the frame.
Thanks for the interest in the wheel so far guys, just let me know when you're ready to send off a payment! ;)

No worries. I have looked into getting a Profile hub & crank set on a few occasions, and this set looks nice built onto the red rim.
Out of curiosity, what frame is that?
Sponge
2008-09-13, 07:29 AM
It's The Ti frame, a one-off titanium frame from way back. It's got pretty decent Miyata lollipop bearings as a clamping design rather than the usual split-design most frames have and with a little mod, they work fantastically (despite popular, yet wrongly-informed belief).
If you watch Defect and Universe 2, you might recognise it in Zack Baldwin's and Dan Heaton's scenes, respectively.
It's what, 5 years old now? :rolleyes: haha pretty legendary for a trials frame these days.
Sponge

Just to clarify:
It's a:
Complete wheel:
Profle Hub
Profile Cranks
Alex DX32 rim powdercoated red by Bedford
KH Fusion Street Saddle (unscratched, no rips, perfect)
Try-All Reinforced Seatpost (as new...)
KOXX Seatclamp (as new... Koxx red clamp, NOT the scratchy black one in pics)
Try-All tyre
All in perfect working condition, with the majority of components being totally spanking brand new
^Only 200 pounds. From stores, this stuff'd cost around double or even more.
Pretty much ALL you need as an upgrade kit for your bare frame. Perfect for those wanting to boost their KH or Koxx frames.

Lol, a rather shameless bump.
My mate recons he can let me know tomorrow as to when I'll get the money that he owes me. He may be able to spare it tomorrow, in which case I'll be able to go over and get the money off him on Tuesday.

Just so you know, I've had no joy with either person, so I'll have to wait and see if you have the wheel when I get some money.
Sponge

Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Anyone had updates with their economic situation? Whoever buys it really is getting a steal... It's pretty much a world champion class spec just without a frame.
Fraggle
2008-09-22, 05:23 PM
Lol, economic situation is still shite, lol. I'm seeing my mate Wednesday, so I'll hastle him some more then.

if this thing doesnt go in the next week or so, would you consider selling to a canadian? it would look soo good on my triton.
Sponge

Very well possibly, but you'd need to pay for all of the postage and packaging costs, but that's a small price to pay for the amount of goods you're receiving, not to mention the prestige, quality, and condition.
Fraggle, if at all possible, try and get something sorted soon, 200 isn't that much to blag together in a short space of time, so if you'd really like then let me know! It's virtually a world-champion spec complete uni, minus a frame.
Fraggle
2008-10-02, 10:11 PM
It is if I have no money, and no means of paying people back if I were to borrow it.
I'm owed enough to cover the cost of these parts new + shipping, and a fair bit spare, but people can't be relied upon.
Like I said before, I'd love the wheel, but there is no guarantee as to when I'd get the money together. If you have the wheel when I have money then I'll get it, and if not, then I missed out.
Sponge
2008-10-03, 08:06 AM
Mmm, I do hate it when that happens, I've been in similar situations. Well, do push to get the money back, not just for the sake of the parts, but for yourself too. It's not right that people just borrow from you and don't return. At times like this, we must be firm and to the point with the people that borrowed from us. I'm in no way saying you aren't, but yeah, the last thing you want is the guys thinking you're too nice to push them, so they'll fanny about for a fair bit longer.

This is pretty freaking damn good deal to be honest... since it's like the most top-spec expensive uni can you get, at such a low price. All you got to add to it is a frame right? I may even get this and just chuck on a Koxx Devil frame or KH frame, seeing as this kit is far superior and unique compared to what Koxx and KH offer on their complete unis.
200 pounds is like what, 400 usd? cheap as hell.... for the amount of components you get and at the condition and quality
Would you ship across the Atlantic? :D

To make the point clear to everyone, this is a COMPLETE world-class spec unicycle, only without a frame. This is a perfect upgrade kit for your KH or Koxx. To make it UNIQUE, strong, light, and ride incredibly.
The saddle is unripped; no damage apart from usual scratches on bumper and handle which you would do yourself within the first 5 minutes of riding. Seatpost and clamp are brand new Koxx. Cranks are NEW Profiles
200 pounds is not a great deal for it; and postage is minimal; with next day recorded delivery!
Fraggle, haggle them some more; it's an injustice to you that they get away with not paying you back. I would demand it back by now. :mad:
:)
NB: Pictures are not up-to-date. Ignore the Maxxis CC tyre and black scratched clamp....
you get a Try-All 19" tyre and a new red Koxx clamp instead
Sponge
2008-10-22, 06:07 PM
Now including:
KH Pulse Gloves
Extra trials innertubes
DMR V8s (with all pins) and black
I will consider selling to Europe and the States/Canada

How did you get it? Are you zack?
Sponge

Ok, so it's still for sale. I'm very very surprised people haven't snapped it up yet?
Anyways, to remind:
The spec of the unicycle:
-Profile Hub w/bearings, washers, tools, SS bitchin' bolts- extremely good condition, others who've ridden it will back this up. Smooth bearings, and absolutely no creaking anywhere.
-Alex DX32 rim, Bedford powdercoated red, straight, no flatspots
-Wheelbuild by Darren Bedford
-Profile 145mm crankarms (chrome) UNRIDDEN
-KH Fusion Street saddle (red) no rips, no scratches on leather, base is solid.
-Try-All Reinforced seatpost (rebranded KH seatpost) UNRIDDEN
-Koxx seatclamp- anodized red. UNRIDDEN
-DMR V8 pedals- black. ALL PINS still intact, smooth bearings, well looked after!
-Try-All 19" Tyre (ignore pictures on page 1)
-Kris Holm Pulse gloves (needs tiny bit of stitching on index fingers, otherwise mint!)
To the poster above: I got the uni off Isaac LeMasters while he was in Australia, whom it had been handed down to by Zack. It took a great deal and time to sort out a deal and I paid a huge sum for it! I'm sad to see it go, but I don't ride unicycles anymore, since I'm better healed to ride my trials bike again. Whoever buys this is carrying on a legacy!
As well as the UK,
I will ship to US and Canada, and within Europe too..
200 pounds is very cheap; you'll see the full retail price in my first post. If you are buying from overseas, there will be a shipping cost attached to this but not astronomiclly high! This is a one of a kind unicycle, and it is well-known around the unicycle world!
Thanks!
