That looks great, particularly the red hub and rim! I know exactly how you feel having just recently finish putting together my custom muni. I'm getting it painted this week (metallic orange).

Congratulations!
Andrew

From the looks of those pedals you must be quite a wheel walker, Erin. I really like the orange frame and hub. I scored a Dyno Fireball tire from the Mississippi boys and, rather than replace a tire on a unicycle I already have, the reasonable thing would be to build an entirely new unicycle around the tire, don't you think? I think that industrial-flourescent orange ensemble is just the ticket. I'd look hot riding around on it in my black one-piece, too.

Uni

I just wanted to show my Favorite uni It has a cheapo tyre, Lollipop bearing holders, Hard seat and plastic scuff guards on the front and back of the seat. It is an 20" Action and I bought it at Bicycle-source and I paid $89.99 for it with free shipping. Learned to ride a Uni on that cheap piece of ****. Best buy on the net. Can't wait to get my 24" ChromeTorker delivered from them that I ordered friday the 14th 2003. I paid $89.99 for that, also it comes with a free stand and a free tube. Didn't want to spend the extra $20.00 for the black one because I wanted it shiny. People who don't know anything about unicycles have no Idea what a good one is from a bad one and besides It's not what you have but how you use it. Maybe with that $20.00 I saved I will take my wife out to dinner at McDonalds and finish the nite off with an Ice Cream.

I have done extensive research and thus discovered that, in fact, powder coated frames and wheelset do, most conclusively, contribute to an improvement in the unicycle rider's skill. Therefore, it is entirely worth the expense to get a powder coated uni as you will most certainly become a better rider because of your lovely stead.
Do not settle for chrome if it is an 'expert rider' that you are striving to become!

Erin will now take her tongue out of her cheek....

yeah Tim, it will be pretty durable. How long have you ridden that sweet customized MUni?

Hey, we've got to arrange some MUni riding together in the next 6 months or so... you've got too many uni's that need company! LOL
