I don't know of Schwinn ever making a 30" unicycle. They made 24", 20", and
giraffes. $40 is a good price for any of them, assuming they are in
acceptable condition. If it is a 70's Schwinn with cotter pins in the
cranks, make sure that the cranks don't wobble. The part of the axle
that touches the pin wears away and the pin bottoms out, so that it doesn't
hold the crank tight anymore.
