My 20" Torker LX has held up well, considering what I've exposed it to
(3ft drops, unispins, riding into a pool, crank/pedalgrabs). The only
thing "wrong" with it, is that I have to tighten the 5/16" (i think?)
bolt for the left crank every once-in-a-while (but Loctite solves that
problem!). I've been very happy with it, but I, too, am hoping to
purchase either a splined trials unicycle (probably a 20" DX, Qu-ax, or
Bedford) or a Coker in the near future.
Do you know what type(s?) of riding you will want to be doing
(freestyle, trials, cross-country)? I would say that the 20" Torker LX
would be perfect for you as a beginner (assuming Liz is a girl, and
therefore not as heavy/crazy as most guys), and it should be within
your price range (I paid $97.97 for mine [including s&h] on eBay)
Hope this helps,
Joe B
