one wheely wrote: Antiques have to be over 100 years old Not here, and especially not at an antique store, where some dealers will try to pass off anything as an antique. If the buyer doesn't know how old it is, hopefully they can be fooled into thinking it's older. The unicycle looks like a Troxel, but has some variations from mine. The wheel looks a little beefier, and the cranks are definitely longer! My seat still has the plastic over the top. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58226 |

If the buyer doesn't know how old it is, hopefully they can be fooled into thinking it's older. The idea of antiques having to be over 100 years old is a new one on me. I know that some of the toys I used to play with as a kid, which originally belonged to my dad when he was growing up in the 60's, are now considered antiques. I also have the remains of a rather nice antique geometry set (brass protractor, compasses etc in a wooden case), which was new when my grandad used it at school in the 20's. It might be worth something now if my uncle hadn't lost most of the bits when he was at school :-( Anyway, I reached for dictionary.com, where one of the definitions for "antique" states: "8. any work of art, piece of furniture, decorative object, or the like, created or produced in a former period, or, according to U.S. customs laws, 100 years before date of purchase." So, the 100 year definition is for legal purposes only. Note also, one wheely, that definition No 3 in the same dictionary.com article mentions 25 years or older in the case of automobiles. url:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/antique -- Danny Colyer URL:http://www.colyer.plus.com/danny/ Reply address is valid, but that on my website is checked more often "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine |

I had a Norco that I got when I was 10, so that would make it 29 years old now. My parents bought it for me and I learned to ride using it. It was a sweet frame, even by todays standards. Main cap bearings, seat with front and rear bumper bars that ripped off after three days, a seat you had to keep bending back or folding over to hold the foam and cover. It was sweet though. I had the frame and stuff until a few years ago and then the it was lost in a move. Pretty heavy, but definately cool. -- Beener Unicycle for Pic-a-Pop!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beener's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3817 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58226 |

Yeah, that isn't the one I have, but it is very similer. It does indeed look like a Troxel. The seat and pedals on yours are different that what we have. Seeing that seat, I guess the rectangle seat with foam and pleather ain't that bad, lol. -- uniredneck "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house." - Proverbs 21:9 "I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise.
