    life is a whole lot more fun when you live it on just one wheel.

  5. That is a nice freestyle uni... You should get something stronger for
    street. If you want to do really small technical street/ flatland then
    it would be good but you don't want to jump sets or any drops at all.

  8. Well the torker DX is the cheapest splined uni and it has 127 cranks so
    thats good for street riding...the DX and the qu-ax are the two most
    affordable ones. Koxx, kh/onza and profile are better but more money.

    No one makes a 19" frame so you have to get a 20". Besides once you
    put on your gigantic trials tire it is closer to 20" outside diameter.

  18. with one of these is better:

    Torker Unistar DX 20-inch Trials or Nimbus 20-inch Trials Unicycle

    Im thinking of just saving up my money and make a nice one.

    i seen that you can use the parts section on unicycle.com and i think
    it has all the parts that i would need to build one
