Last summer i went on holiday to cornwall, I wasnt specificaly(?) looking for a unicycle but i found a trials uni for sale in a small bike shop. I was well into uni by this time but didnt have a uni of my own. (i always stole my lil brothers nimbus when he was at school!) In my exitement at the thought of owning my own trials uni, i forked out the £100 and bought it there and then. From then until now (and i still havent) i have never seen another uni the same, although iv heard of mission trials bikes. Its a good uni, I bent the stock cranks but iv now got a pair of alu qu-ax ones and they have been fine. The frame is made from oval tubing and its fairly lightweight. It seems like a good uni but i have never seen another one. Its a Mission trials uni, Does anybody out there have one?
I was about to say that those are the worst looking parts on it. looks like you have an alexrim, and a luna tire. Very nice for the price you paid, but I personally don't even look at nonsplined trials unis anymore.
yeah iknow what you mean, but mine only has the same frame and possibly rim as the pic. I have a creepy crawler tire, KH seat, qu-ax cranks and gusset pedals. I must admit the one in the pic looks like a pile of [censored]. It was mainly the price that drew my attention. I think with a host of new parts its an ok trials uni.
hey dude! Yeah, i got my gusset grind pedals from a bmx shop but you can get them from UDC. their called Gusset full throttle. Hope this helps!
yeah that actually does help me, coz i thought they were called "Gusset Grind Pedals" i called the lbs and asked for them to get them in for me and they couldnt find them on the database, now i know its coz im using the wrong name !!
ahaha, i had the same thing with my old 20" i got from the lbs, ur lucky, urs has a brand name atleast, mine didnt even have one sticker to give me a sign of where it could be from!!
My local bike shop has this trials uni in the window, but I don't think they've ever sold one. They do giraffes and a couple of other things too apparentely.
Is it a mission? I don't know why no-one else has got one, i really like mine, i think its a great trials uni. Ok, admittedly the stock parts where a load of [censored] but with a couple of new parts its a good uni!
Hey! Just an update! I found a trials biking forum and found a thread on mission trials bikes. Heres what they had to say........

that acttually looks pretty sweet for a nonsplied...it should hold up fine till you get some $$$ for a new hub/cranks
Thanks! Aswell as getting a new hub and crankset, iv just got a new rim due to splitting the one on my uni! See 'Here' (http://tinyurl.com/o4qge) for details.
