Pashley 29 vs Semcycle XL 700c?

Unicycles and Equipment
1

So, I’ve got a bit of cash to buy the last unicycle I’ll be able to buy for a long time. I’m trying to decide if I want to grab a Semcycle XL 700c with some upgrades (which I can afford right now) or if I should save up a bit more for a Pashley 29 touring. What’s your opinion? Pashley or Semscycle XL

What are your thoughts? the Semcycle comes with a Holm saddle, by the way. Is it better than that with which the Pashely comes standard? What difference does it make?

pashley has the lollipop bearing holders i think and that isnt all that great :roll_eyes:

the KH seat is much more comfy and won’t kill your balls. For a touring uni you are definatly going to want something you can sit on for hours.

That is about the only thing I can say about it though, I don’t know much about the pashley.

I hav had a Pashley for a few years now and i still Love it! Nothing worse than a few flat tires, and I have ridden the crap out of it:D . I wrote a review of it, I was looking for it to do a follow up when I saw this post.
Pashley, so bloody English.

Both frames are fine; I’ve put hard use on both. The lollipop holders are very good ones; nothing like the cheap unicycles at all.

I personally havn’t rode on either, but I’ve read that the square crown frame like on the semcycle can be a killer on the knees when you get to that size unicycle.
