38" 48" 52" Antique Unicycles

52" wheeled uni ?

Has anybody had any experience with the PennyFarthing style Unicycles. They come in sizes up to 52 inch. I emailed, and his response was the tire wears out quicker as a uni but the tires are still good for 3-5k miles.(solid rubber) At $750 compared to $2000 for a geared 36" I wonder if this is an option for commuting purposes only. This is the link to the store. Interesting stuff.

I had the same thought earlier. Pretty overwhelming feedback saying novelty
use only, not for riding.
