1000+ unicycles

Yes, there wasn't a descent 26" muni so I built up my own. It ended up
to be $1,003 U.S.

I have a 'DM ATU' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=100),
which currently costs $1,156 at Unicycle.com (it didn't when I got
mine). Why? It was the only unicycle in the world with a splined axle
at the time (1999). My main MUni ride is my 'Wilder'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=485). At the time, it
was the only MUni with an aluminum frame, and was also my first
unicycle wide enough to fit a 3" tire. Plus it had the Profile
Poznanter hub, KH seat and indestructible Sun Doublewide rim.

I didn't pay retail for either of those, but they were worth the price
at the time, as there weren't any "cheap" MUnis on the market that
could take it. Nowadays I can't think of a good reason to spend so much
on a unicycle unless it's:
- A Schlumpf
- Highly custom, or handmade
- For collector/novelty/specialty purposes

It's hard to get a serious touring cycle for less than that, especially
before the Nimbus 36er came out.

Last year I built a Hunter 36"er. I never really calculated the total
cost but it was probably $1,100 - $1,200. I spent the money because I
knew I would get serious about distance unicycling and I wanted the
best. I could have bought a stock Coker but I knew that before long I
would upgrade. I decided to do it 'right' the first time. I'm not
sorry I spent the money because it's by far the nicest unicycle I've
ridden in my 36 years of unicycling. The precision and craftmanship of
every component makes the expense well worth it. I LOVE MY 36"
UNICYCLE!!! :p

I'm sure Roger from UDC.UK has at least a couple.

His custom cf frame Muni would fit the bill.

After getting my Torker 24" DX I thought about souping it up to the max
and came up with this:

Torker $259
Qu-Ax 170 mm cranks $75
Wallis cf seat base $170
KH seat cover $19
Air pillow $17
Trials tube (for air pillow) $9
Wellgo magnisium pedals $66
Thudbuster 3" suspention seat post $175
Nokian 3" tube $10
Duro Wildlife 3" tire $23
Reeder handle $40
Magura hydralic brakes $179
Shipping apprx $100
Total: $1,142

When I saw what all that added up to I quickly lost interest. I'm
still thinking about the Thudbuster, but I think I'd need the Wallis
base because I can't spare the 2" for an addapter on top of the min
5.66" clearance for the seatpost.

Edit: also thinking about a Nimbus 29" w/ a 2" Thudbuster, but then I'd
likely have the same problem.

I have a tryalls uni just like Danni and iridemymuni except Onzas,
Tryall rim, and my carbonfiber isnt as fancy as Danni's. I dont
know*how much it cost it was almost 1000 maybe. But ive upgraded it
alot so with all the upgrades counted ive spent over 1000 to get it to
where it is.

$1000 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. I used to do
recreational road biking and my road bike cost $3500. And in the road
bike world that's kinda mid-range. Most of my serious (competitive)
biking buddies have spent upwards of $5000 for their rides.

The most I've spent for a uni was $700 for my Nimbus 36. That included
upgrade spokes and shipping.

Maybe not. I have one of Roger's CF MUni frames, and I don't think the
whole uni added up to $1000. But again one must remember this was
before the days of splined cranksets, so my carbon MUni has a Miyata
hub, inexpensive cranks, etc. The seat post was about $100 though
(Thudbuster Uni-Pivot).
