Depends on your height, width of your hub, or if you want aluminium or steel. There are a few possibilities:

Standard Width Hub (100mm)
20" Nimbus 'Equinox' Aluminium Frame
20" Kris Holm 'Long-Neck'' Unicycle Frame
20" Nimbus X Unicycle Frame
20" Nimbus II 'Long-Neck' Unicycle Frame
20" QX Series 'Long-Neck' Unicycle Frame

Narrow Width Hub (90mm)
20" Nimbus 'Eclipse' Aluminium Frame

I have the Eclipse frame (powder coated not a fan of the gold) and it’s amazing but if you've got standard hub I’d personally go Equinox.

Oops, sorry about the "+1". I thought you were recommending using a 20" frame for stand-up skills.

For me, I'd go for the Nimbus Eclipse frame. Beautiful!

Was just looking at that when you mentioned it for an upgrade from my nimbus II frame (Though I like it just want a less slippery surface for my foot...) and it seems to need a very specific hub. The "Nimbus Gold ISIS LT Narrow Hub"??
