[UK only] WANTED: Second hand 16" unicycle for child to learn on...

Hi

I’ve just started unicycling (since Christmas) and am getting on
pretty well, and now my 7 year old son is keen to learn too! Does
anyone have an 16" unicycle in reasonable condition they want to sell?
I’m reluctant to spend £60-£70 for a new one so soon after Christmas!
I live in Bath, but will obviously pay postage charges from further
afield…

Please reply to tim at theps dot co dot uk

Thanks

Tim

keep an eye on ebay is my suggestion. I got a 16" there a couple of weeks ago. (still successfully hiding it from my daughter as it’s supposed to be a birthday present!)

alternatively you could go to the uni meet in kidderminster this weekend and let him try one out for free (£5 deposit). unicycle.uk.com has the details of times & how to get there. Or try to borrow one for a bit at SWUM in Exeter in February.

maybe see you there!

I have one

Hi there

I have a 16" unicycle, but I live in switzerland.
It is red and it is in a more or less good shape. The saddle is ripped of in the front so if it is a birthday present or something like that I would not recommend it. It’s just that the front piece of the saddle fell of because the unicycle fell on the ground many times. You get a new one for less then 5£… All though I’m not sure wheater it would fit. I just don’t want to sell a unicycle with whom you’re not happy…

Please reply if you’re interested.:slight_smile:

I nearly fell into the trap.

This thread is 12 and a half years old.
Tim’s 7-year old son will be 19-20 years old now, so a 16" unicycle might be too small.

I was surprised to see how far back the messages went when I joined. This one even looks like it was copied over from a Usenet newsgroup. But it’s easy to do, especially when you’re new to the forum. It’s a very thoughtful and considerate offer nevertheless, a credit to the poster. :slight_smile:

And based on the bio info, lorenaunicyclist would have been about 2 years old when the wanted ad was first posted. :astonished:

Oops

Didn’t notice that… I wonder why the post came on where all the new posts usually are :o
