Side-By-Side 24" 26" 28" Uni Photos?

All,

Can anybody provide, preferably from their own collection and in the same photo, a side-by-side of 24", 26" and 28" unicycles?

In the future, I am going to buy a unicycle for riding around in my neighborhood and in parks, not for distance but just for pleasure riding, and also *some* freestyling (mainly just hopping). So, I'm trying to figure out whether I'd prefer to go 24" or 26" on any new street cycle I custom order. I figure the 26" may have better tire selection, and it will be a new size for me, but the 24" may be easier to hop / bounce on (for curbs, etc).

So, before I buy (which probably wont be until July or August anyway), I'd like to SEE them side by side. Later I may get a touring / commuter cycle, and I'm considering a 28" of some type. That is why I'd like to see a 28" in the pic too.

Next time I visit Atlanta (for Dragoncon, http://www.dragoncon.org/ ), I hope to visit Unicycle.Com, and who knows, maybe Chris will get a weekend free and we might just go and look at them in the store, test drive some, and then ride in the city.

Until then, I'd like to see some photo comparisons, if you can provide any.

Thanks,

Lewis

I don't have them all so can't meet your request. With a pair of
compasses and some artistic talent you could make a drawing to scale
yourself...

Any 2 of the 3 would be fine.

Yes
Its on line at
http://www.uk.unicyclist.com/shed/shed.html

With some other pics of our collection of unicycles ranging in size from
8inch wheel to 36inch wheel. The pic you ask for is actully two pics as I
split the sizes at 26. So you will need to look at the 8-26 pic and the
26-36 pic, but as both were taken in the same place, on the same day it
should do what you ask for.

Also features pics of the new toy, a very sexy 29er.
