Ehhhh? what are you on about Mick?

Ohhh and 36'ers have been around ages, think the wheels were the standard for offroad unicycle or something daft?

I'd buy a 36er in a heartbeat if i could get one made from steel cheaply. Just looks like so much fun to ride. Bit of a handful on singltrack though. I just love the video where the chap rides one up that long flight of stairs in NZ.

They all seem to be based around 18" frames or similar though. I'm sure a custom 23" for me would look far more in proportion. ๐Ÿ™‚

Why do they only seem to turn up in Titanium???

Theres a UK shop that sells the 36" wheels & tyres, think they are a unicycle specialists. Its nicheness to the max. Especially if it were belt driven. Just imagine.

The guy in the green shorts is clearly a bit too aroused....

When I go and live over there, a 36er with a big frame is top of the list. I shall send smug pictures!

TooTall,

You're moving to the states then? Where and when?

If you find someone to build you one at a reasonable price let me know as i'll have one as well! I'll even let you send it over to me if you ask me nicely..... ๐Ÿ˜‰
