That looks good. I think I may want to have someone build me something
like that.

Hey Pete, you've got permanent visitation rights for the Florian Green.
Any time you're heading to Southern Oregon stop by for a spin.
Likewise if I'm heading north with my wheel, I'll give you a jingle.

Here's a pic of my set up (The Florian Green). Wish I could take credit
for it, but the high praise goes to Pete Perron. Of course, these
handlebars require that you get Pete to make you one of his "V" frames.
I really like these aero bars. They allow me to reach out farther
forward. Thanks to the "seat post" mount there is no flex in them when
I pull up on them while climbing hills. I set the "seat post" clamp
(really the handlebar clamp) just loose enough so that when I UPD the
handlbars can move enough not to break. As you can see from the torn
tape at the tip of the aero bars, I'm not a stranger to UPDs. Another
thing I like about these is that they are narrow enough not to bang up
my thighs when I do go cartwheeling off the front. There's space enough
to mount my b*ke computer. When I'm riding at night I wrap a head lamp
around the bars and I've got a head light.

Just doing my part to encourage all of you welders to get wild.

Nice one. I'm getting a V-frame built up. I think it's the future of
road unicycling. It will allow the use of a normal bike stem and
handlebars, and is a much stronger design than getting ever longer
extentsion bars on the seat.

My unicycle position is pretty similar to my bike position too.

made some pictures today of my new handlebar setup
i have not changed much since my last design because i really like it
biggest chance is the bicycle seat.

because this seatpost is 25.4 mm i can not attach it to my 36 inch
unicycle wich has a 22.2 seatpost.

just made a short trip and the diffrence whas huge and i really like it
on the most unicycle seats i have the problem of it rubbing to my legs
and with the bicycle seat i dont have that problem any more

have to put some km on this set up to test it bether but so far so
good!

more pictures:

yes the extension is the top tube of a bicycle frame copied it off
dustin schaap as far as i know the first one to use this.

i like it to be so long because i can stretch my arm out,
i realy like the bicycle seat because i dont have leg rub anymore
but still have to test it out on a longer trip.
