Thumbs up

I was kinda in the same position as you
I bought a ebay 24" and the seat broke (you gotta go easy on them) and the people sent me a new seat for free but i knew i'd need i new uni
I tried to buy the nimbus, but UDC got 3 orders in one day and only had 2 unis
So they offered me the next one up, the quax with the red hub
After doing some research, i got the impression that the nimbus was better
So then i asked for the next quax up the one with the yellow hub and got it for the price of the Nimbus
This is a fantastic unicycle in my opinion and very versatile, i use it for trials, street and muni. Its great uni if you dont have quite enough for a KH.
And as for the lack of unicyclists, when you get your new trials uni, lend your ebay one to a friend, then when he buys his own lend it to another friend.
This is how i got into unicycling, trying out my friends dads uni and got 4 or 5 other friends to ride and buy their own, by riding mine.
I ride in Galston, Sydney btw

ummm
I rang around a lot and heaps of bike shops have alright quality learners..
My friend managed to get a trials for $250 i think? at Kuringai Cycles although about 4-5 months later this uni is creaking and showing some bad signs
I think there could be a place in Frenches Forest that imports unicycles?
Something in the back of my mine says they import koxx but dont quote that in your sig

Yes, definitely. It is possibly lighter than the qu ax and is easier to upgrade... and cheaper. Go for the Nimbus ISIS when they have it in stock (should give you time to save...) and then later, if you manage to break the stock cranks, you can upgrade to KH moments (I don't think the aus UDC does custom orders so that's your best option).
