Anyone here seen a unicycle that has the cranks mounted directly above the wheel? ie. short giraffe. Thanks. -- tjheller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tjheller's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13578 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54674 |

yeah, search "penguin" -- onetrack "People over here have a dangerous habit of adding quotes to signature lines." -Klaas Bil I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it the dioflip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onetrack's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6374 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54674 |

Tom Miller (The Unicycle Factory) used to make what he called "Traveller" giraffes, with the crank axle at a minimal height above the wheel. They were intended to maximize rideability with a simple gearing-up system. But then Cokers came along so they aren't as useful as they were then... -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "The worst thing you can do on a unicycle when you land is stop dead." -- Kris Holm, world's expert on high-consequence unicycling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54674 |

George Barnes IV made one that was highly geared, there are videos on the gallery of him riding it i think. Also a guy called skippi on these forums had a similar one, i think they both have 26" wheels. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54674 |

Ther was one at a Kidderminster uni meet that I went to once. It looked a professionally made job. Looked a bit DM ish. Possibly one of Steve Grainger's unicycles. Standard 1 to 1 chain drive, bot geared up. Nao -- Naomi Fictional characters are so naive. You would think that, after all this time, they would know that to invite Poirot or Miss Marple to spend the weekend was effectively signing their death warrant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Naomi's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3322 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54674 |
