  9. get a long seat post, the longest you can find. You can alwyas cut a
    seatpost shorter, but not lengthen it.

  11. I think you should buy new and expensive, and if you don't like
    unicycling, call me and I'll buy it used and cheap.😄

  17. I started with expensive and new (but I voted for cheap and old).
    Get the right parts, and you can upgrade as stuff breaks.

    Best of luck to you. If you have any questions on how to ride you can
    always post on this website. Or there is a very nice website that has
    good tutorials which is called www.unicycle.2ya.com.

    Enjoy!
