    I know a while back a saw a picture of a bike which had been converted
    into a giraffe unicycle.
    I think all they had done was taken off the front wheel, forks and
    handlebars and replaced it with a seat. But what I can't remeber is if
    they had slightly modified the frame and added an extra bit so the seat
    would be directly above the pedals, instead of slightly of centre of
    them, which is what would happen if you hadn't modified the frame. So
    what im wondering does anybody have/know where I can find this picture?
    Because I would be interested in trying something similar.
    Thanks
    Peter

    It doesn't have a picture but it does give a "SHORT" description.

    forget about the circus.

    Here's an example...

    ...just a picture without information though, but there is an extra bit
    so the seat would be directly above the pedals.
