  2. Looks like someone took and old tricycle did some cutting and replaced
    the handle bars with the seat.

  6. Buyer beware: It's a Troxel! I'm sure you've all read my horror stories
    of learning to ride on my 16" Troxel. That's old tricycle is made from
    the same types of parts. Cute as it is, putting any signifcant amount
    of weight on it will make the wheel *very* reluctant to turn. The
    cranks are very short, and the Q factor is huge. Plus it's a tricycle,
    so the customization part might not be very strong either...

    But the thing is way, way cute. I'd love to have it hanging on my wall,
    but not for $45.00 plus!

    The only place that this unicycle will be in my house, is up on the
    wall in my bedroom. 😄 😄 😄

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

  9. I would so want one regardless of how [censored] or good it is. I would just
    hang it up in my room, and very rarely ride it. Imagine the looks of
    bystanders/pedestrians while riding this. I can see it now actually. 😄
    :p 😄 🙂 😄 :p 😄

  11. WHAT'S WITH THE EBAY PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS HAVE THEIR ITEMS DESCRIBED IN
    CAPITAL LETTERS. LIKE IT REALLY MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY ARE USING A
    TRS-80 OR COMMADORE PET TO POST TO THE WEB. OR PERHAPS A SINCLAIR.
    OR PERHAPS THEY USE AN IBM CARD PUNCH AND THEN SUBMIT THEIR EBAY JOBS.

    Seriously, is the caps/shift concept really that hard?

    Sorry I had to rant.

    Anyway that is one very strange unicycle.
    🙂

  13. I think some people think it will make their description easier to read
    or more attractive. Unfortunately they're completely wrong.
