  2. Seat, seatpost, seatpost clamp, frame, bearings, hub, 2 cranks, 2
    pedals, spokes, rim, rim tape, tube, tire, and probably some nuts,
    bolts, and washers to hold everything together. Some people have a
    brake. Perhaps taking your own uni apart would help you learn the
    components?

  4. as well as saddle handle, a back bumper and pins for the pedals.

    helpful(/EDIT)

  10. i was considering on building my own, taking various parts for your
    average bicycle, but its alot more efort than money, i thin you may
    need to be engineerly minded. for example.

    you'd have to convert your forks to compinsate for a different axel.
    you'd have to buy a new cottless axel to fit inside the wheel.
    and also a new seat, i couldnt imagin riding a unicycle with a bike
    seat.

    everything else: eg pedals,pedal arms, quickreliease clamp, wheel,
    tire, and inner tube can come of a bicycle.

    but for the price of all those conversion needed part, it would cost
    more than if you bought one brand new, with a new uni your garentied it
    will be strong and last.

    hey you never know you could play with mountain bike forks and come up
    with some sort of serspention of the forks instead of conventional seat
    suspention methods.

  11. 1st component of starting a useful thread on a newsgroup: put the topic
    in the subject line. That's what it's for! 😎

    If you do build it, just remember to buy it a Rose for valentines day.
