Does anyone have one? I was browsing through Monty's catalog and I saw their trials unicycles. They make one with cotterless cranks and one with ISIS cranks. The wheelset looks pretty nice, but I'm not so sure about the frame and seat. What about the cranks? Are they nice for Trials/Flat/Street?

The Trials are on pg 9 of 28.
They also have some beginner unicycles (20"-24") in their on-road catalog, but those both look pretty outdated with nasty seats (like the savage with metals bumpers).
