I recently saaw this 20" uni for sale in a Tasmanian bike shop. The guy in the shop told me it probably came from Taiwan and was bought though an australian bicycle importer.

No, it's not. I would never demean a Hunter by calling THAT a hunter.
Zack is right. The lieele cross tube thingy is at the wrong angle,
making that whole front part rather useless. Also, as mentioned, the
bearing holders are far below the Huinter standard.

that frame would be fun to have just because it looks cool. an amateur
wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and a hunter frame,
so....

This may be a unicycle case of 'Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny'
(http://tinyurl.com/3ww93). This is just an early form. When it
finishes growing and is fully formed, it will be a Hunter.

that frame has been popping up all over australia by the looks.
its a horrible looking thing isnt it. and it is no hunter.
it was on national television just a while back, the metal mulisha raced
the footy show boys around a circut on them.
