Has anyone priced/budgeted a trip to China for Unicon X? If so, about how much
do you think it will cost to go there and stay there from the US? Brian Berlin

I highly doubt you can buy anything other than Chinese-made unicycles in China.
Which brings up the question, what are all these thousands of Chinese riders
riding, and who’s making them? Surely they are not riding on hardware from
Taiwan. Somebody is making lots of unicycles there…
Miyata is a Japanese company. Part of the reason why their stuff is relatively
expensive is that it’s still mostly made in Japan, which is more expensive than
Taiwan or China.

Mr. Zhang, the host of UNICON X and an IUF Director is working on some deals for
airfare. The details will be in a couple of weeks.
It should be below $1,000 round trip. Food and lodging should be around $40 per
person per day. While there, you will want to do some sightseeing, which will be
very economical. China is one of the best places in the world to shop. So, if
you have some extra money you may want to do your Christmas shopping. The
savings will help pay the trip.

They are making them in China. And different from other manufacturers, they seem
interested in the opinion of the riders.

What a great idea! Any idea of the cost of a Miyata 24-inch uni will
cost in China?

Normally, things made in China, not imported are the great buys. They have been
working on improving the design of the Chinese unicycles, but I don’t think that
it will be up to Miyata’s standard quite yet.
Your best bet might be to buy a Miyata from one of the Japanese participants so
that they will not have to take it back. You may want to send a “feeler” in this
group beforehand. Alberto Ruiz
