Giraffes -- any advice?

Hi there, folks,

So I've had my Pashley uni for over a year now (I'd also advise people
to avoid Pashley -- they even put the cranks on the wrong sides of my
uni), and I thought it was about time to try something different.

Here's the question: what do I look for in a giraffe? What's a
reasonable price for a well-made 6'? I was looking at the More
Balls Than Most catalogue, and they've got a 6' DM ("very high
quality giraffe") for 295lbs. Is this about right?

MBTM also rekon that they're easier than standard unis, but how do
you get on them? I always thought you had to climb, but when the
"Junior Freestyle Mount" was described here a week ago, we were
told to "hold it out front, like a giraffe". Is this the start
of the "official" giraffe mount?

Well look - that's enough questions.
Seeya,

Pab.
