BRIEF: To deconstruct a scrap bicycle and reuse its parts to create something that uses its principles
WHAT WAS DONE: An adult bicycle was taken apart. A part of its frame was used to make a fork for a unicycle. The ends of which were extended with metal pipes. Keeping the pedals and wheel from the previous cycle. The ball bearing was housed in the fork. The suspension was used by refurbishing the seating with the sponge and a leather cover . The axel is hand filed and customized to suit the form. Everything was put together with TiG welding.
RESULT: My take on the conventionally clown-associated unicycle.
