ah... not too weird I guess, people like us are few and far between!
I did not however notice that you had a geared hub.
is it kris holms?
what has been your max speed? could you briefly share your experiences on it with me?
is it worth the money?
thanks,

mmenghe, I love my V frame guni, but I'm not sure if I'm the best person to give you a true comparison to other unis. My 36" uni is not just the only 36"er that I've ever ridden, it's also the only 36"er that I have actually laid eyes on. I've seen many pictures and videos of 36" unis but that's as close as I've come. Weird isn't it? That being said, the handlebars are farther out front than what you would get with a T7 and this allows me to get a better tuck when I'm going fast. I don't need to hold on to the handlebars when I'm riding, so I can have the same upright posture that I would have on a uni without handle bars. So overall I'd guess that the V frame increases my efficiency because it allows a broader range of postures depending on what my body feels most comfortable. I could easily envision handlebars that extended farther out front than mine already do. It would not be a stretch.
Hope that helps.

hey, i saw your v frame on groups, google.com, and i was wondering if that v frame would allow more speed or just comfort, as that the bottom bracket is offset with that design.
does it feel any less efficient?
