That seems pretty advanced. Are there any guides on the simple static
mount?

I've been wanting to make a giraffe out of this Bmx. I'm wondering if
with some welding I could just attach the seat post, preferably
adjustably, to the frame. Is this too simplistic or will it work? I've
heard about de-freewheeling the hub, so I know about that.

Which set up would work if I were to do this?

Cheers all!

Anyone know if this unicycle is OK? I can't tell if it's good or if it's
a piece of junk.

I have a chance to buy a used giraffe since I got some cash from
relatives for Christmas. Right now it's either that or a Torker TX, or I
wait until a Schwinn pops up on eBay.

Looks like a pretty decent deal, especially if it's brand new. Also
looks like a 6' frame. That is, if you're tall and raise the seat up,
it's probably closer to 6' than 5'. 5' if you're really short.

Ok cool I'll think about it between that and a tx. Thanks for the reply
Oh and btw I am really short

Just try it and tell us how it goes
And who cares that it's freewheeling? Learn to ride it as is
I don't get why your main question seems to be the seatpost, though.
