Unicycle trainer? Ewww!

C'mon, who was responsible for this abomination? A 5 speed block with no changer? What the hell is that spring for? That surely can't be a standard chainset!
Looks to be a high standard of brazing/welding, and a decent powder coat.
But above all, why was it ever constructed? What were the circumstances of the police repossession?

For anyone interested, this is up for auction next Saturday in Nottingham, with an estimate of £25 - £40.

I like it.

I don't like it enough to go to Nottingham, but it has cheered me up

Saddles a bit low 😉
It almost looks like a child’s unicycle, or maybe a training unicycle 🤔

Hats off to the designer; it takes quite some imagination and effort to make a unicycle even more difficult to learn.

What the hell is that spring for?

Spring is to keep the dolly wheels pointing roughly in the right direction while off the ground while still allowing the rider to steer by leaning the bike.

But above all, why was it ever constructed? What were the circumstances of the police repossession?

I reckon it was seized from some backstreet scumbag school where it was being used to teach chavvy scrote hoody wearing kids how to wheelie non-handed through red lights while keeping their faces covered and flicking the Vs at any coppers.....

What were the circumstances of the police repossession?

Scene: The Fence's hideout. The Fence is surrounded by swag and is counting a roll of cash. Enter Fingers.

Fence: Wotcha got for me this time, Fingers? More diamonds?
Fingers: Better than that, Fence, I got a bike
Fence: Colnago? Pinarello?
Fingers: Nah, none of that tat. Look at this!

Banging at the door.

Both: Oh no! It's the feds! (Fence and Fingers exit stage left)

Isn't it actually a tricycle?
