Mission Trials Uni?

Eddbmxdude · 2006-01-30T10:17:17+00:00

Hey everybody! Last summer i went on holiday to cornwall, I wasnt specificaly(?) looking for a unicycle but i found a trials uni for sale in a small bike shop. I was well into uni by this time but didnt have a uni of my own. (i always stole my lil brothers nimbus when he was at school!) In my exitement at the thought of owning my own trials uni, i forked out the £100 and bought it there and then. From then until now (and i still havent) i have never seen another uni the same, although iv heard of mission trials bikes. Its a good uni, I bent the stock cranks but iv now got a pair of alu qu-ax ones and they have been fine. The frame is made from oval tubing and its fairly lightweight. It seems like a good uni but i have never seen another one. Its a Mission trials uni, Does anybody out there have one?

Hey everybody!
Last summer i went on holiday to cornwall, I wasnt specificaly(?)
looking for a unicycle but i found a trials uni for sale in a small
bike shop. I was well into uni by this time but didnt have a uni of my
own. (i always stole my lil brothers nimbus when he was at school!) In
my exitement at the thought of owning my own trials uni, i forked out
the £100 and bought it there and then. From then until now (and i still
havent) i have never seen another uni the same, although iv heard of
mission trials bikes. Its a good uni, I bent the stock cranks but iv
now got a pair of alu qu-ax ones and they have been fine. The frame is
made from oval tubing and its fairly lightweight. It seems like a good
uni but i have never seen another one. Its a Mission trials uni, Does
anybody out there have one?
Yours wonderingly
Edd Hawkes
P.S Sorry about the essay!

I was about to say that those are the worst looking parts on it. looks
like you have an alexrim, and a luna tire. Very nice for the price you
paid, but I personally don't even look at nonsplined trials unis
anymore.

yeah iknow what you mean, but mine only has the same frame and possibly
rim as the pic. I have a creepy crawler tire, KH seat, qu-ax cranks and
gusset pedals. I must admit the one in the pic looks like a pile of
[censored]. It was mainly the price that drew my attention. I think with a
host of new parts its an ok trials uni.

yeah that actually does help me, coz i thought they were called "Gusset
Grind Pedals" i called the lbs and asked for them to get them in for me
and they couldnt find them on the database, now i know its coz im using
the wrong name !!
Thanx mate🙂

No problem. It doesn't look like anybody else owns a Mission trials uni!
They must have sold more than one!

My local bike shop has this trials uni in the window, but I don't think
they've ever sold one. They do giraffes and a couple of other things
too apparentely.

Is it a mission? I don't know why no-one else has got one, i really like
mine, i think its a great trials uni. Ok, admittedly the stock parts
where a load of [censored] but with a couple of new parts its a good uni!
