handlebars??

dazzle · 2004-11-06, 04:35 PM

hi everyone,
have been looking for aaages for a set of handlebars on a separate wheel so that it gives the impression of riding a bike.

any ideas where to get hold of one? anyone else know the product i mean?

ive read a few books that say to cut the front end of a bike off, but there must be a supplier??
just imagine how rubbish that would look!.... im not a D.I.Y man!!

Cheers

Daz

Go to your local thrift store, by a $25 bike.
Remove stem from fork.
Remove fork from frame.
Reinstall stem in fork.

Ride.

or if you can weld, get uni frame. get old handle bars from thrift store bike. get longer seatpost for front unicycle. Weld handlebars onto seatpost. put seatpost in front unicycle frame. ride around like crazy.
