unicycles, or the wholesale price from builders, who made the frames
(and DM hubs?) by hand?
yeah, materials couldn't have costed more than 80$(generous) for those
frames. You'd have to be a really slow frame builder for the end result
to be 600$
Quoted message said:They were state-of-the-art when new, but since then they've been passed
up by much cheaper models that are as-good or better.
What about the guy who thinks he's getting the best of the best, and
forks out 1500$ for a muni to find out that he still has a flexy
plastic seatbase, no brake(and never will), and a weird random seat
tube size. Just because they where "state of the art" 6 years ago
dosent mean that price is still justifiable. Would you pay tripple the
amount for a 6 year old car that is lower quality than a simillar 2007
model car?
Here's an idea! lets put one of the the cranks on backwards and try to
sell it as a whole new 'unicycle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=613)! Even though
anyone can to this to the unicycle they already own, the novelty wears
off after 5min, and it should have an eccentric wheel. We should be
able to catch some poor [censored] who dosen't know any better, and make a
few bucks. EVIL

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip
