BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Vintage Kabuki 20-Inch Unicycle with Whitewall Tire
This vintage unicycle is manufactured by Kabuki, a brand associated with Japanese cycle production in the late 20th century. The piece features a chrome-plated steel frame and a 20-inch wheel fitted with a 20 x 1.75 whitewall tire. The seat tube bears a distinctive black and orange decal featuring a stylized logo and the Kabuki name. Additionally, the fork legs are decorated with rainbow-colored stripe decals in blue, red, and yellow. The unicycle utilizes a standard direct-drive hub and crank assembly with metal and plastic pedals. The padded saddle is covered in black vinyl with white piping.
Condition report:
This item is in used, vintage condition. The black vinyl saddle exhibits significant wear, including multiple tears, cracking along the edges, and extensive surface spotting. The chrome-plated steel frame shows areas of pitting and localized surface rust, particularly concentrated around the fork crown and the seat post clamp. The whitewall tire is aged with visible yellowing and discoloration. Surface oxidation is present on the metal wheel rim, spokes, and pedal hardware. While the unicycle appears mechanically complete, its functional integrity and tire air retention have not been tested.
