	I was looking on eBay, and noticed this old uni: 'Link' (http://tinyurl.com/9vw53) Does anyone know the history of that design? To me it seems to be an old custom unicycle...

	See if you buy something like that you should only ride it maybe once or twice a year on special occasions. when its not being used it needs to be displayed somewhere in your house -- brockfisher05 - THE YAM FATHER Also a member of the Vancouver unicycle group ADD ME AT: konabike88@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brockfisher05's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8363 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39924

	I'm just interested in the history of the design... I was not planning to buy the item... Does anyone know the history of the frame?

	I wonder how many people had access to aluminium casting facilities in the 1950s? Massive temperatures needed, and aluminium is an expensive material. So would they only make one as a private project?

Nickjb 28 April 2005 21:09:14 [ permanent link ]
	The frame certainly looks aluminium. In my very unproffesional opinion I'd say it was a tad newer than 1950's. Mike - I've cast aluminium in my garden. You just need a saucepan (not aluminum ), some charcoal or coal and hairdrier to give the fire plenty of air. -- nickjb - I've lost a wheel (apparently) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nickjb's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1074 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39924

If you factor in the time and cost of boxing it up and packing (esp. if you have to make or customize a box), $30 sounds like a pretty fair deal. Just mentally add it to the $26 price the auction winner paid. Cheap! The seat setup is very similar to what you got with a Loyd unicycle in the 60s (Loyd is where Schwinn got the design for their unicycles). Fortunately Schwinn improved on the seat! Before that, the bike-seat design was probably not uncommon. I think I have seen one of those unicycles before, but I can't remember where. Maybe Al Hemminger had one. The one I saw looked very similar to that one, and it was indeed aluminum, and indeed old. I would consider the guess of 1950s pretty accurate. Note the old-fashioned rim and tire. I wonder if it could be one of the old Nissen unicycles? According to JeanPaul Jenack, that was the first commercially-made unicycle, starting in the 1940s. But why woudn't it have any identification on it? I would only expect a lack of labeling on a custom job. Or maybe there was a sticker or nameplate at one time. Mut Munipsycho is right about "claims" from eBay sellers. I've seen many a 80s cheapo for sale, being touted as a valuable antique. I would have bought that one, to add to my collection of hardly-ever-ride-it's... -- johnfoss - The wilder Wilder John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com "Read the rules!" -- 'IUF Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/) -- 'USA Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/competition/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39924
