Can you identify this overpriced uni?
The local "antique" shop has a unicycle in stock that I have not seen before. It has cottered cranks, a sturdy looking frame and a 28 spoke wheel. It also feature surface rust and an old bicycle saddle. The shop keeper has put AUS$125- on it which is way too much. The attached photos should help those in the know identify what brand it is and also give an idea as to it's real value. The first person to appease my curiosity with a correct reply wins a cute little unicycle model that I had made in Thailand. You will need to collect it from me in Brisbane though :-) Wayne van Wijk. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: uni whole.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/228378| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- wayne - O---( -]-O U.P.D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wayne's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5276 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/34452 |

Yes, same bearings as on my Japanese Concord. This suggests possibly the same factory, but who knows? It's a safe bet you have a Japanese unicycle from the 1970s there. I have seen that fork crown before, but can't remember the associated name. Like my old Concord, that is just the sticker on top of the metal. The same frame may have been sold under many different names, just like the frames of today. So your antique dealer can decide whether he wants to sell his outdated unicycle, which is possibly up to 30 years old or so, or keep looking at it for a long time. It has no intrinsic "antique" value, other than perhaps being a rarity in Australia if few were ever sold there. -- johnfoss - Walkin' on the edge John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" www.unicycling.com "Beer me." -- Scot Cooper, at the end of a group ride all the way up and all the way down Mt.

I think that I might offer him $50- for it. Unless there are any other Brisbane unicyclists looking for a 20" uni.

I'd agree that its worth no more than $50. It needs a new saddle and seatpost to make it rideable for more than a few minutes. If you explain this to the seller he might realise that it ain't worth $125. +0}\{y -- TonyMelton - www.unicycle.co.nz See some photos of the first 'NZ MUni Weekend' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/NZ-MUni-Weekend-2004) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TonyMelton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/2118 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/34452 |
