This is a sick sick ride, undoubtedly as good as it gets, Im selling because I need some money, and going to travel by walking, its brand new, ive riden on nice roads for a few months, less than 100km on it.
Here is the jist:
Triton custom 36inch frame with brake mounts at 36 and 29inch wheel sizes. (really nice flexibility)
Schlumpf hub brand new
kris holm 29 rim (the 47mm wide version)
kris holm 125mm 150mm cranks
kris holm fusion freestyle saddle
magura breaks
this is fully equipt for touring and awesome flexibility for city, downhill.
So I didnt find a buyer in time, This unicycle is still for sale, but I am shipping it to USA and from now on I will reship from there, so you can calculate shipping for there.
Hey Jeremi,
It would have been a little nicer if you’d sent me an email to let me know we don’t have a deal, but I get the message. We had an agreement on price, and you would have had the uni sold if you’d been willing to put in the minimal effort to have UDC or a reputable bike shop assist with shipping and accepting payment. Nothing personal, but I wasn’t excited about sending over $2,000 half way across the world to someone I don’t know who’s acknowledged they’re disappearing immediately after receiving the money.
Good luck in your wanderings, and in finding a buyer who is willing to blindly trust you.

Hey James, Im sorry you fell this angry, but anyway you know how your describing the events you are not completely acurate, so anyhow you told me you didnt want it, but if you still do I still have it with me because it was too expensive to ship to the usa. I will be touring Indonesia instead, but if anyone does want it I still want to sell it.
I didnt expect you to trust me in holding the money, I just didnt have time to figure out how to do it through a bike shop as I was hiking mountains in tasmania. so please dont give everyone on the post a bad impression of my intention.
Jeremi, I’ll admit I was a bit miffed after you had written me that you were looking for a bike shop to help with the deal, then posted you had no buyer. Sorry if you felt rushed, but that’s not my doing. After telling me you only had two weeks to sell it, it took you more than a week just to send me a couple photos and the serial number. I certainly did not intend to misrepresent any of our communications in my prior post. I also never told you I didn’t want the uni; I just put parameters on my offer. But rather than debate what occurred, I’m just attaching our email string (edited to remove email addresses to avoid spam, and $ figures so as not to interfere with your future negotiations). I thought I’d been pretty straight up with you, and tried to give you some tips on other ways to sell it when it looked like shipping cost would be too much for our deal.

This seemingly miscommunicated transaction is unfortunate.
For anyone interested in this item, an awesome one at that, I can personally vouch for Jeremi.
I went to school with him for 4 years here in Toronto, and I can say from experience that he is a trustworthy guy who is not out to scam anybody (though I completely undersand the middleman idea when dealing with this large a transaction).
He is super adventurous and seems to always be traveling around to beautiful countries around the world *jealous! Because of this he may not always have internet access, but I know upon making a deal he would do everything to ensure the transaction was successful and fair.
Just thought I’d mention this for what it’s worth.
