The_SkunkMan said:*When I ask my dad for the Miyata SkyCycle, I even offerd to pay half
but he says"Maybe if you were a proffesional performer."*
Good idea, dad! Now nobody wants to hire a unicyclist for basic
performing unless *they have a giraffe.* That's where the money is, even
if your coolest stuff is done on a regular uni.
A custom giraffe will cost more than a Miyata.
But custom-izing a cheap giraffe should be able to modify it to go
lowere a minimal cost.
Joona mentioned that you can cut the frame down. CAUTION! This is not
true for many giraffes. Generally they have a taper, or some other
variation in the tube size that may preclude cutting them down. Check
into this before buying.
