Default Cutting a longneck frame


I'm sure this has been inquired about before, but my search results came
up empty so here I am. I'm curious to know how to trim my longneck frame
2 inches or so without wrecking the whole thing. Feedback would be much
appreciated.

Yea, I was going to ask the same thing,
If you cut it down, wouldn't the little slit needed for the clamp not
be there...
Do you have to make another small slit in the frame for the clamp to
work??????

Cut it down, file and smooth the edges of the cut. Cut out the slit,
smooth those edges too, and youll be fine.

I'm assuming you paid $700 for the whole unicycle not just the frame?
