Everyone... My dope arse unicycle got stolen. $2000+ build-up. Profile hub/cranks, primopro pedals. Wicked Grip-modded cro-mo frame. HS33's. SMO. It was pretty sick. I know it's not gonna get found by anyone on here so i didn't bother posting it in stolen stuff. Sucks huh?
Dude... you should have written something when it got stolen! (Like 3 weeks ago?) It could quite possibly be in a river now! :x

That's totally screwed up man. It seems theft in on a definate increase or something. I'm hearing more and more peoples motorbikes or push bikes being stolen lately. It's not a nice trend. :(
Hope you get your one wheeler back soon!
Aw Daz, I remember that Uni and how pasionate you were about getting it all spot-on... that's a real shame. Make sure the local police know. Make a report so it's on record and HOPEFULLY a uni will turn up and they'll know who to call.
Cheers

You mount the brake lever under the seat. ...

..but usually the brake lever has an T extension to make it more easily grabable.

Thanks guys. :cry:
I called up the local 5-0 as soon as i knew it was stolen, and they came around and had a chat. I was kinda expecting them not to take me seriously, they wouldn't be able to justify spending that much even on a pushy, but they were awesome. I was like "it's kinda the one wheeled version of this..." and pointed to the Bighit, lol. It was one of a kind, and a lot of people around Rocky can recognise it- it stuck out like dog's balls with all the yellowness.
Here's my flier i made in my desktop publishing class...

And here's the custom stainless steel under-seat lever mount that my mate Benny whipped up...
