Barracuda Unicycle

I saw a unicycle for sale on craigslist this weekend.  It was $20 and located in my town so I ended up getting it.
It's an older cheap 20" uni that would be good for a kid to learn on.  So I'll put in the garage and have it on hand when the need arises.
The seller said it was her son's from years ago and he didn't stick with it.

One interesting thing about it is that it has training wheels!  I'm not sure those will really help someone learn, but they're interesting.

Here's a picture of what a new one looks like.  Mine has surface rust on the chrome, but that will definitely clean off.  And of course it didn't come with the box.
 From the internet I gather it's a Rand Ross brand.  The model is Barracuda.

  1. there is a similar training wheel unicycle that goes up on craigslist in Vancouver about every 4months or so.
    I have seen about 4 different times now, and it keeps changing local city/suburb each time.
    except this one keeps going for $120.

    I assume people keep wanting to make their money back.

      I've seen those around. They're called skate bikes.
      Have you seen this old commercial?
