Default new homemade unicycle


Take a close look at that photo that Yoopers posted. Looks like about a
3" wheel geared up to maybe a 20" or so. That would just feel strange
to ride.

minuts of riding. does anybody else have any really, really small
wheeled unicycles?

spudboy there is dead right.

i got the bike seat tube thingo and cut it into a length, and then
welded that over the forks of a kids tricycle.

it took me 5 mins to cut through the tube, cause i didnt have a hacksaw
and the angle grinder disc was too worn down, i got through it with a
drill bit and a hammer drill :P

i cant sell the seat or seatpost, cause that's off my good unicycle :P.
(the diametre is 25.4 or something like that.)

i'd sell it to you, but you probably wouldnt want it as such, i've
already bent the left crank (no matter, i can bend it back with my
hands :P), and the tyre isnt inflatable (dont ask me, i dont know,
theres nowhere to fill it up from and its weird), and it's got lollypop
bearings (these arent too crash hot).

do you still perform at southbank, i'll pop by one day and give you a
ride
