i'm looking to buy a trials uni but am hard pressed for $$$ this one's pretty affordable at $199 but i want to know if it's not only cheap but cheaply made. will this hold up?

Will it hold up? Probably. It is the probably weakest of the splined unis and some people have broken the frame. But, it is fairly solid for the price. I have the 24" model, and it is a heavy beast. The 20" is lighter (i've tried one), but still heavy compared to other trials unis. If you want a trials now, get that. If you can wait and you can save up some cash, wait and get something better.
yeah, i'd sort of like it now. 😄 still, i won't be jumping off mountains or anything so it shouldn't be too bad. as for weight, it's lighter than my current one!

It is ok, the frame isn't the strongest and its pretty heavy but its still quite good. The wheelset is very strong and that is probably the most important thing on it.
It depends how much of a weight wennie you are :P. The wheelset has a big big big hub, which is kind of heavy. But hey, if you break your frame, you can get a new YUni one fairly cheap.
