I'm Looking at a Freestyle Unicycle....

Hi Im looking at buying a freestyle unicycle, and the Nimbus II looks
pretty good for freestyle/flatland.
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=739.
Does anyone have this Uni and what do you think about it? Do you think
this is a good choice or should i buy something else?
I have a Qu-Ax 20" Trials, An old Schwinn 24", A Torker Tx 5' Giraffe,
And a learner Uni, a Torker Cx (now my sisters).
Thanks for your help!

Looks like a great collection of parts for the price. One of the factors
for Freestyle is foot grip/comfort on the fork crown. I don't have
experience with that frame so I can't comment, but it looks like your
foot will definitely stay on there. Future upgrades to that cycle might
involve a front bumper without handle, a non-quick release clamp (if
it's gouging your legs) and maybe a lower-profile seat. But for the
price, that looks like a really well-equipped ride!

I suggest the new nimbus longneck 20" unicycle.

It is about $180, has a nice longneck frame, and is a great unicycle. I
have one.

In regards to the the thread title, I was gonna say, "I'm looking at a
computer monitor..." although I too look at my unicycles quite often.
