Just ordered a Nimbus 36"

I have just ordered a Nimbus 36" .

I ordered a Kris Holm seatpost and adaptor, and some V brake adaptors as well.

I can't wait till it comes now!

Hey, I know that feeling! The waiting is the worst part... but just wait until you open the box! (and it is a HUGE box!)

I'd love to see some decent photos of the V brake adapters once they're installed and set up though.

Hey oldgeezers, so you went for the Nimbus? Sounds good.

I'm waiting for my 36" as well...they said the wheelbuild would take 3-4 days...and that was 8 days ago

I've had mine for quite some time now and LOVE it!!! I've now officially topped out at 37.8 km/h it's SOO fast! I have 125mm cranks on it and plan on upgrading to 110's or 90's just because I love the speed so much I really want to break the 40 km/h mark! all you guys who are waiting for your 36'ers wil absolutely love them to death, I go soo sad when I first crashed it and scraped a bunch of paint off the T7, now the T7 is all beat up looking and my frame is all scratched from high speed upds...

When I ordered mine it took about 3 and a half weeks to get to me. I ordered it through a local UDC store, and it took about a week for the order to be processed then it took about 2 weeks on top of that to get here because it is a custom Kovachi wheel build. I bought the Nimbus 36" deluxe unicycle 125mm cranks, a nimbus gel saddle, 14 gauge spokes, the T7 handle, and a Magura Hydraulic brake. I don't think that anyone looks foreward to their first scratch

Well, I wouldn't trust that too much. A couple days after I got my torker DX UDC still said my order hadn't been processed
