haha clipless unicycle with a brake. I dont know how many of you have ridden a unicycle, but lets just say, with some decent speed, pulling on that brake would be like ridding a bike downhill leaning on the front bars and then yanking the front haha
oh yeah sick aerospoke btw.

brakes on unicycles, esp. for offroad/trials are very common. A more controllable way to torque or lock the wheel when you need to.
hmmm what does this imply about brakes on fixed gears? (rhetorical)
two handed handlebars and a bike type saddle on a uni are a bit funny though. and seems like unusually long cranks.

haha, i thought it was jackass mostly because of the aero wheel actually. Also, it appears to have clipless pedals, which is a terrible terrible idea.
As for the brake, its common on mountain uni's but not for locking the wheel as someone said. You can't lock a wheel on a uni, you will faceplant so fast you won't know what hit you. It's just for lightly scrubbing speed. I've only ridden a braked uni once and it was weird.

Well, speaking for the unicyclists, as my next build after the fixie will be a trials unicycle... Brakes aren't all that uncommon for mountain unicycling. Actually, they're becoming more and more common and are showing up on lower end models all the time now. The handle bar thing is usually something you see on touring unis, such as 36" cokers.
All that said, that unicycle has fail written all over it... Coming from a unicyclist :\

That look says.... 'AHHHHHH' all that horrible pressure is off my taint. MAN look at that seat angle, he does look pretty pleased with himself though.

I *think* I saw that exact bike on eBay last year. I **** you not. If it's a Bareknuckle EAI frame.
Course, it might just be a similar build.
But the parts matching seems uncanny to me.

I am 100% sure that's not a bareknuckle. The geometry is way too slack and the BK fork does not have that much rake, but that is one of the colors they come in. Looks like a conversion

that's not jackass. I mean if your going to have foot retention you might as well have hand retention too.

wooohooo, break ALL your fingers in an accident instead of just your thumbs on the hoods (typical roadie break), AND still be attached if you get hit.
