Thanks for the continuing advice everyone!
In terms of used bikes... I guess im looking for something like this?

I guess my question is... if going used... do I pick something that looks like its not about to fall apart and rides well/clearly is not broken? Do i buy something on the cheaper side and upgrade/replace some of the parts? Are the brand like 'big hit' generally OK? And Norco I figure is reasonable? Norco makes great trials and mountain unicycles and I think their bikes are ok?
Not too worried about theft, the bike would always be in my car, in a garage (in city or at acreage) and the UofA campus I go to is in camrose... camrose has very low theft, particularly on that campus.
Thanks for the continuing info!
Cheers,
Chris
