How much is YOUR uni worth?

I spent a lot on my unicycle and I enjoy it. Compared to other serious
hobbies out there, unicycling is quite cheap, even when you go for a
$1000+ unicycle (Like I did). MTB can go up to $10 000 and don't even
get me started on buying huge expensive vehicles.

I think that $350 for the coker sounds right, it depends on the
condition it is in.

Like every other product its likely to depreciate in value.

Unicycles that are unique and customized for specific function should
hold a good portion of its value. Example Unicycle used to break the
24hr distance record, first GUNI, etc.

For $430 I believe I have something that will give me endless hours of
enjoyment and exercise. Not too shabby a deal. No question I could have
paid less for something else, but I am really attached to this one.

My 2 cents.

I bought my Schwinn Giraffe in 1983 for $210.
I see them on Ebay for $400 to $500 now...
I would never sell it though...It is like an extension of myself.

i was short on time so my post above was pretty quick and not really
explained well. My unicycles that I've built/purchased were as
follows:

29" $330 (nimbus II with a GB4 handle, seat modification and
computer/light/bottle cage)

First 36" $about 1,000 (nimbus 36 DX with T7, magura brakes, bottle
cages, computer, bike pouch, etc etc...too bad somebody cut my lock and
stole it)

Second 36" $850 (same cycle, no brakes)

24" $680 (paid 400). KH 24" with Jim C pedals and a thompson
seatpost.

so all in all, I've spent way too freaking much on unicycles in the
past year and a half...but its so worth it.

It's worth exactly what the market will pay for it. Same with real
estate. what I paid for my house, what I've put into it for
improvements, all of that is totally irrelevant. It was "worth" a lot
more just 6 months ago, but less now since the real estate slump.

I'm just glad I got a 30 year fixed at 5.375%!🙂 Many who went the "AR"
Mortgages are unable to make the payments now, and are losing their
homes to forclosure. But I digress.:p Unis in general are only worth
what people are willing to pay, and no more. Btw, I thought both your
unis had steel rims; did you get a new one lately?

I kept all three of my KH Unis (KH20, KH24 and KH29) Stock.
There was no need to add anything! They were allready the best out
there.

I put a V-brake on my ONZA 24 that I have since removed. I don't ride
the ONZA anymore it is for guest Riders.

Is there anyone who thinks his 29-er is just worth peanuts and would
like to sell it to me? I would pay over the odds... maybe even
cashews.

The dress in which I unicycled was not THAT short, but in retrospect, I
think that maybe the blue one would have been more appropriate to the
terrain. Nao April 2007.

O man I almost don't want to know how much my unis are worth. I have
spent alot on them.

My coker (still not built yet): drilled airfoil, 14g stainless spokes,
coker frame, skinny hub, 29er tube, double jump pedals, 125 alu qu-ax
cranks, nimbus seatpost and clamp, freeride seat, stem/aerobar handle
setup, TA tire.

150 for the rim, 105 for the tire, 60 for the pedals, 75 for spokes and
seatpost, 12 for clamp, 60 for seat, 15 for handles, 50ish for frame,
plus probably another 50 for the wheelbuild. So about 575 for the coker
(better than I thought).

For my trials though I have put a crapload of money in it, just from
breaking stuff and changing parts.

Original no good trials uni, k-1 hub and cranks, wheelbuild 1 and
powdercoating, new seat 1, KH rim, wheel build 2, double jump pedals,
new seat 2, CF base, Nimbus clamp, animal hamilton pedals, longer
cranks.

So thats 270 for the original, 250 for hub and cranks, 40 for
wheelbuild 1, 130 on seats, 90 on seatbase, 55 I think on the rim, 60
on the pedals, 12 on clamp, 40 on wheelbuild 2, 46 on pedals, 70 on
cranks, plus I had to wait a rediculously long time twice when wanting
new cranks, but one set was free.

That is a total of 1063 that I have spent on it.

People always think that buying custom unis gets them something special
but really if i had just bought a KH and a luna tire I would have ended
up at basically the same uni I have now but saved like 400 bucks.

That is exactly what I was thinking earlier today. Right now I am in
the process of upgrading my quax trials. After its all done the only
difference between it and a new KH 07 will be the frame post and clamp,
but I will have spent the same, if not more, then a brand new KH.

Building a custum uni is fun and gives you expierence, and you usually
end up having some back-up/extra parts, but it almost always costs more
then just buying a new uni.
