amaazing. want that frameset. reckon it's columbus max and an edge fork? wheels look very tasty too

er... no way thats real... wish it was though.

sorry if I missed something.

I'm pretty sure it IS real.
If seen a guy on my home track doing this.
The bike was more standard but still with aero extensions. No reason to believe that it is fake.

If you build it. They will come. whispers

Shopped.

its a bit like this

I didn't know Andrei Arshavin was such a keen unicyclist.

The front fork has simply been moved back to the center of the TT FFS.

.....and whats the second brake lever for??????

....and WTF are those two gear levers hes holding doing?????

...and WTF is that down tube bottle doing there???

there are 2 brakes on the wheel...

there are 2 brakes on the wheel...

Just noticed that. The front caliper has'nt been removed from the fork.

... and it appears to have at least one chainring.

Its a P3 frame with the front forks photoshopped to run from the TT to the BB... there are 2 brakes on the frame (surely even one brake on a unicycle would result in a faceplant) the rear of which does not come into contact with the wheel. Also the wheel vanishes behind the rider's left knee...

Not real, although I wish it was.

**EDIT apologies smallfury... you type faster than I do.

There's a kid that unicycles to school, that I pass when doing the nursery run.

Always figured it was just to be a bit cool. But he actually cruises along a fair bit faster than the walkers.

Its a bit big!

At first i thought TT unicycles could never work because to keep balance you need to hold some speed in reserve to stop you falling forwards, so you can never ride flat-out. But i've been thinking: there's another way you could keep from falling forwards at high speeds - use your air speed.

Mount a horizontal aerofoil behind the rider, a good distance back from the centre of the wheel, pitched to give no lift (so little drag) when the cycle is balanced. As you tip forwards, the tail plane would begin to pitch downwards generating down-force so pushing you back towards level. Cross-winds & tail-winds could be nasty, and riding backwards would get a lot more difficult.

As a refinement it might be useful to give the cyclist hand-controls to fine-tune the pitch.

I wish i could ride a unicycle to try this out.

or some kind of gyroscope?

I can ride a unicycle. I don't think it will work.

bit tricky to get a hold on the bottle, fingertipts may get into spooooookessssssssssssss
