Hey guys, I am really interested in unicyling and really want to start.
What brand is a good starter, yet somewhat cheap?

I agree with surfer about the LX, you may want to change the seat later
on as the LX seat becomes very uncomfortable after a while. :D

Hi all, I just decided to get back on the unicycle after giving it up
10-12 years ago. My old schwinn 24" was on its last leg so I purchased
a 26" torker. I found out that I'm more out of shape than I thought as
I can't seem to ride for more than a couple of minutes before my legs
give out. I also discovered the issue with seat that Hazmat mentioned.
Any suggestions for a replacement seat? I'm just over 6' and about
225lbs (for now ;) ).

Thanks
