Hi.
I was looking on a website of one of my fav. shops (gadgetshop and I found a unicycle!
It could be the worst unicycle ever made! The worst part is, people buy them! :o
here is a link: unicycle
Just take a look at the guy in the otherpicture - does he look cool or what???
edit: I forgot to mention the price!!! 
Joe,
Those are the ones sold in bike shops around here. Notice how the schrews holding on the lollypop bearingholders doesn’t go all the way through the frame. They’ll hold up fine as long as you don’t do extreme stuff like hopping up curbs.
lollypop bearings frighten me.
also, it must be a 12", right? It looks too small for even a 16"!
That saddle dont look too good either!
Anyone here actually start riding on one like this?
Joe,
i had, and still have, a 24 norco with very similar bearings and they did loosen up a lot but for light stuff its alright. the seat was is viscount which i was not a big fan of however the one in the pic looks like it has the support of a 2x4
Man you guys are are new… that’s called a savage seat

lol i rode that for the first year i think, they hurt really badly…
Hey…i looked at that uncycle on the site and realized i started riding on one of those. Yah I know you’re thinking “Wow, big news, I started on a dimestore unicycle.” Well i just thought I’d inform you that nothing can beat the seat on that thing in inducing extreme pain and agony. Several of my friends started on dimestore unicycles and I have to admit, they have plush seats, comparitively at least. Well as i was saying I learned on one of those, and I actually did do some extreme stuff like hopping off of curbs without it breaking (I think mine was accidentally made exceptionally strong), and so I thought I had a pretty good unicycle. Well then I made one of the big mistakes everyone makes. After trashing my old seat I bought a new one. The only bad thing was I bought the exact same one (I’ve progressed alot mentally since those days). Within a few weeks I was walking with boughed legs and sporting a duct tape seat (I discovered this to be exceptionally more comfortable). Well I learned almost everything on that little unicycle, until one fateful day in the park. I was getting pretty good at hopping, so I was hopping off of stuff around there, bending the already taco-like rim farther. well I saw a picnic table, and not one to back down on challenges I decided to hop off. I slowly, laboriously climbed to the peak of the picnic table. With one decisive heave I was on top of my unicycle, on top of the peak. It was about then I realized that this was better than I had planned. I realized that I could both conquer this new obstacle and rid myself of the torturer. So I made a deliberate hop to the left, then off the table. What happened next is, to put it in words, miraculous. I hit the ground, and, rode away. This was a shocking new discovery to me. That my little hell-bound unicycle could hold up from heights like a picnic table (like I say, this is by no means a sales pitch, unless of course you’re the type that like to die and come back to life before you master something). Needless to say I eventually got a new seat (luckily before my manliness was demolished entirely), and I am now a happy unicycler who shudders when he recalls the horrors of the hell-bound unicycle.
You guys had it easy back in my day, I learned to ride a Savage unicycle with a seat like that, lollipop-style bearings, and cottered crank arms!. When you fell off and tried to grab the seat, it would tear my fingers apart. I think the scars have finally healed, but it wasn’t the greatest of joys to play with. Of course, I thought it was the most amazing thing in the world, because it was my very own unicycle and I learned to ride on it. It’s also the first unicycle I started doing MUni with, and the one on which I invented Icycling (with a more aggressive Wal-Mart tire, that is).
Ahh, the good old days.
P.S. I’m sure someone is going to one-up this. 
The picture of that guy had me laughing uncontollably for a full minute! I guess because I can remember making a similar face while riding on my old Savage (my second unicycle, after a '70s Schwinn). I look back on that like my dad looks back on leisure suits.
I didn’t realize how much I had been jipped ($100 at a bike shop) until I later discovered unicycle.com and their special sale of Savage seats ($10, buy one get two free).
One of the seat’s more interesting qualities is how it is attached to the seat post. It is apparently made to be able to adjust the angle of the seat (not that any angle makes it more comfortable). However, it is held in place merely by the pressure of those square metal plates and that bolt. When it starts to come loose, it tends to fall forward completely, dropping you off the seat like at the dunking pool at the fair.
Fun!
well, i know someone who prefers those horrid seats to the standard torker seats. at this moment, he is using a savage seat metal frame with a threadbare towel over it. but it could be worse, i have some of those seats.

ME, NICK, AND JOE ALL LEARNED TO RIDE ON A 20’’ SAVAGE NOT TOO DISSIMILAR TO THIS(EXCEPT THE WHEEL DIAMETER). EVENTUALLY WE GREW TIRED OF THE CRAPPINESS AND BOUGHT REAL UNICYCLES. IT HELD UP WELL FOR 3 OR 4 MONTHS AND THE TEACHING OF 3 PEOPLE. EVENTUALLY THE PART OF THE FRAME WHERE IT JOINS THE LOLLIPOPS CRACKED AND FLAKED OFF. SO WE FIXED IT WITH A PIPE CLAMP. THEN WE PUT IT AWAY UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO NICK DECIDED TO TAKE IT OUT FOR A SPIN FOR NOSTALGIC PURPOSES. WE HAD PUT THIS HORRID SEAT ON IT FROM A UNI I BOUGHT FOR 30USD. WE TOOK THAT OFF AND PUT ON A VISCOUNT FROM NICKS COKER.
BUT I DIGRESS. NICK HOPPED DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS AND THE UNI APPEARED TO MELT BENEATH HIM. HE DESTROYED THE RIM. IT TACOED 90 DEGREES SIDEWAYS. ILL TRY TO GET SOME PICS UP SOON.
