Ok, that's settled. But just to let you know, I'm a noob and have never
seen a Summit before, and so before I posted, I searched the web
(including UDC) trying to find that brand but there were no pics
anywhere that I could find! Could you please post a link, if you can
find one, that shows a summit, preferably a new one with specs and
price, other than the one on ebay?

Btw, what do you all think it would sell for (in that configuration)
brand new? Thanks!😄

Hi Terry,

The Summit was a pre-production trials (20" wheelset) unicycle designed
by Kris Holm. Since they were a limited pre-production run, they are
not made anymore, and a very limited number of unused ones are floating
around, sometimes appearing on eBay.

The story I've heard (search the forum for further details) is that the
first Summits were produced and shipped before Kris okayed them. They
were a bit heavier than what Kris wanted, so they were renamed "Summit"
and sold under that name instead. They are extremely rugged, and when
they show up on eBay, they usually go for a price cheaper than
comparable name-brand unicycles. The wheelset is identical to the '03
KH trials unicycle, and the replacement parts are interchangeable.

If you're a noob, maybe you should not be so quick to question people's
knowledge, and don't use so many question marks! One is enough, people,
seriously.

No need to get defensive, and I wasn't "questioning" yours or anyone's
"Knowledge", ok? www.calm down. I'm here to learn and have a good time.
Sorry you misinterpreted my meaning. No worries on this end. I'm just
kickin' back loving every minute of it! And go to the top post and see

Are you offended by his numerous exclamation points???? I'm not; not at
all. Have a relaxed day, dude.😄 😎 🙄 🙂 :p :eek:

Hi Entropy!

Thanks for the detailed info! That's really helpful and I will probably
bid on it. Speaking of weight, how much heavier do you think it is
than, say, as qu-ax, or an onza trials? Btw, I hope to join you guys
for the next SBuni outing! Do you know when that might be? Thanks!

un fortunately it is quite heavy as i said earlier...maybe a pound or 2
heavier that the qu-ax...but you ride a dx 24" right? so it shouldnt be
too bad for you🙂

That is true, I do ride a dx 24", mostly for muni, so I thought it
would be nice to have a decent trials uni that would probably be as
good or better than a torker dx 20" trials, or qu-ax, but less $$ from
ebay. Do you think that trials would still be easier even though it
might be as heavy as my 24"? 😕

you can get used to the weihgt very quickly...it is an excelent uni for
trials. and when you get a little more money you can buy a different
trials frame that lighter.

Please don't bid on it My friend has been bidding on it like crazy. He
doesn't have a unicycle and he doesn't have much money, plus I'm sick
of him using mine (he has my freestyle at his house for over four
months)

Terry, I've owned a Summit Trials before and although they are heavier
than some other trials uni's that are now available, they are not to be
considered "pigs" and are virtually indestructible! Just to give you an
idea of what to expect to pay for this item, the Summit that I bought
off ebay was pristine and cost me $300 without shipping. I noticed that
the seller is somewhere in California, so shipping may not be too
expensive. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Tell your friend to stop bidding for now and wait until the deadline is
almost up. All he's doing by constantly bidding now is driving the
price up🙄
