Need to buy my own uni
I got into unicycling a couple of weeks ago when I stole my friends basic cycle pro unicycle. Naturally he wants it back so now I need to purchase my own. Where can I find nice cycles? The one I'm borrowing seems fairly generic, and I'd like a nice one. I'm still learning and all I can do is ride in a straight line. I really have no clue in what to look for, so what are some good brands, and places to buy from?

Because they ship free, they have the best "at your door price" I know of for these uni's. Perhaps the very best of cheap square (cotterless) hub uni's, the ax torkers are the very best of cheap unis IMHO. http://brandscycle.com/itemlist.cfm?pageId=180 Basically, they do everything they can to make it light as a feather, strong for a square hub, and dirt cheap delivered with stainless spokes, an alex alum rim and good tire, to your door for less then 200 $. You need to spend a lot more $ if you want to do big drops (which really depends how big you are), but at 180 lbs. , my ax 29 seems to be doing real well in general (trailish really) muni. I'm not knocking splined (expensive and a bit heavy) unis at all. Because an ax torker is so cheap, I think it makes a great choice if you want a general trail uni, and the price of a splined uni seems a bit high. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71733 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

'The Unicycle Shop' (http://theunicycleshop.com) is also a place that you can pick one up at. -- azvwbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azvwbug's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15607 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71733 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Not one person asked him what sort of riding he's getting into.... For starting out I recommend a decent freestyle uni until you decide you want to start doing trials/street/muni or, sigh...*grumble*....commuting/distance/racing...... The reason for the freestyle uni is that it's easier to learn the basic skills on and cheap enough that you're not out too much in the beginning... Go for the Nimbus X 20" or Torker LX if you're low on funds(upgrade to shorter cranks on the LX) Or if you really want to go crazy there's the Koxx-1 signature, but that's pretty hard to get from what I hear.. To buy unicycles there's many, many more shops depending on where you're buying from. -- hobo_chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hobo_chuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14113 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71733 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Need to buy my own uni
Thanks guys. I live in Ottawa, Illinois and will be doing mostly street riding. I'm looking to stay below or around $200, as always the cheaper the better but I don't want to sacrifice quality. I really have no clue on what brands to be looking for. I'd be up for assembling my own or any decent completes. -- hypnotikrobot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hypnotikrobot's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17598 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71733 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'd go to UDC and buy a Black Widow. It's in your price range at $245. I'd upgrade to some Moments or Sym's later.The new Kris Holm's are the best uni's out their though. -- Michaelgoround ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelgoround's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17218 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71733 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
