I have one. It is a "...great, strong, comfy, sturdy, medium weight, cool, great, well designed unicycle. It rules."

I don't know what country you are.

UK is gonna start making some in the new year, when they have the time to put them together.
But USA aren't making any more hoppleys as they don't have the hubs.

your best choice is probably the 20"DX or the 20" qu-ax if you are in the US and want a splined wheelset.

I guess the Nimbus 20-inch Trials Unicycle or withthe 48 spokes but without thee splined wheelset it'll break so easily.

I recon the DX. And if your in the UK, then wait or get the qu-ax
