Any idea how good this is?!

POS. Cranks will bend/snap quickly, seat is very bad -with no
handle-:eek: (but has a trials tire). I would pay $50 for this, not 50
quid. Save your cash and buy something that will last.

yeah the cranks dont look strong, your better off saving a bit really
untill you can get something with isis instead. you could change the
hub and cranck in that to isis but it isnt worth it at all for the cost
and having to build up the wheel and whatever

OH MY GOD! I had that uni! I don't know anyone else that had one! I
would say go for it. I replaced my cranks with 'these ones'
(http://tinyurl.com/24wg4l), they bent eventually but not until I had
gotten far better. In fact, I snapped the hub on it, not the cranks.

The thing to watch for is the KH rim, does it have a groove that goes
right the way round the sidewall? If so, they can start to 'peel' off
if you bottom out, that happened to two rims on mine.

Other than that, its a good starter trials uni.

Don't assume your KH seat will fit that, it may well have a different
bolt pattern on the seatpost, so you may have to shell for a new
post to get it to fit. Yes if you do ehavy trials on it it will break,
but if you're just starting out it will do you quite nicely. I would
pay £50 for that.

Yeah, I forgot to add that Leo still uses the frame on his K1 wheelset.
Its narrower than the Nimbus, so it doesn't hit your knees on bigger
hops.
Oh, and at BUC 13, Joe Hodges told me that this frame is the only frame
he hasn't managed to break.

I can't believe you were just given the uni for free! Usually anybody
in a transit van is trying to add extra on for the fact that they own a
big white van!

And Edd, how the hell did you do that to a rim?!

I'm unsure whether to go for the uni or not. The frame and rim look
fine, but not sure about the rest of it. I have a set of ProWheel
cranks already, so I could swap them straight onto it. The only thing
that has got me thinking is whether I can arsed to buy a splined hub
(in 6months or so) and re-build the wheel. It will cost me at least 70
quid or more for the splined hub/cranks, so by then I will have spent
120 on it.
Hmm, what to do, what to do.😕

It wasn't a white van, it was silver 🙂

The way I'd look at it is that you'll be paying £60 (or £50 if you can)
for a frame, seat post and tyre, plus temporary use of all the other
bits. How long the other bits last depends on how carefully you treat
them and how quickly you can afford to upgrade. As you say, you've
already got a seat and cranks to swap out so there isn't a great deal
left once the hub has gone...

I do like the look of it. But I think that's because it has a 19" wheel
with a nice trials tyre. If it would last a good while and make it
worth me upgrading then I would go for it. It would be about 50quid
cheaper, in the long run, than saving up and buying a Nimbus. But not
everything would be of Nimbus quality.

If it's in the same condition as the pic, I'd get it for 50 pounds.

I'd wait untill the original cranks beand/break, then put those on.
And untill you have enough to upgrade to splined don't do any drops
higher than a bench (less if you are big).

Hi, my unicycle is falling apart underneath me and just at the right
time, somebody has offered me a unicycle (his son had it as a present
but never used it). The only thing is that I'm not sure what it is or
whether it is any good. The only thing I really know about it is that
it has a 19" wheel and a Maxxis CC tyre on it. He has offered it to me
for 60 pounds (UK, my keyboard symbol button doesn't work!) but I think
I would want to barter and maybe ask to pay only 50.
Also, I already have a Kris Holm seat, so that's not a problem.
What do you think?

I really don't think this is worth it, but it also depends on how much
money you have and how poor your other uni is.

You mentioned that your other uni is falling apart, and if this is
true, then what does this new uni have that won't also fall apart from
your use?

Actualy I just checked out UDC UK and from the looks of it, if you
bought that, then bought a nimbus hub for it, and some ISIS cranks, it
would come out being cheaper than a Nimbus trials, so I would say go
for it.

If you pay fifty pounds, plus 12 pounds for the Qu-ax cranks, and 33
pounds for the nimbus hub you are at 105 pounds, which is a good amount
cheaper.

Bang on!
The frame is a good deal narrower than the Nimbus too, so you won't hit
your knees on it as easily. Stick your KH seat on it an you'll have a
pretty solid uni for not much cash.

Yeah, I did think that (from both Edd and ntappin). I've been having a
think and it would definitely work out cheaper to do it that way. The
problem is, would it still be as good, or nearly as good as a NImbus?
Also, I would have to go through the hastle of building a wheel.
Edd, did you buy the same complete uni? If so then what was it like in
general? Were there any weak parts and how many spokes does the wheel
have? Also, what size seat post does it take?
The other option is to buy a second hand wheel. Someone is selling one
fro around fifty pounds. So that would still make it cheaper to buy the
uni for fifty, second hand wheel for fifty, cranks for twelve and then
add my own seat.

I haven't had a response yet, but I'm hoping he doesn't just say 'sod

It'd be great if I could get it for less than £50.
