Bicycle to Unicycle in three thousand easy steps ( in a day).

Hello.

I was given an old broken bicycle today.

I've got the day off and I've had an idea in my head to make a unicycle recently so today is the day.

I've seen two other designs:

- one that uses the rear triangle and a chain drive

and

-one that uses the front fork with direct drive using purpose made bearings.

I absolutely stand to be corrected but I couldn't find one like this , that uses the front fork with a chain, on the internet.

The problems that I forsee are that there will not be sufficient chain adjustment and that getting the wheel off will involve splitting the chain . . . here we go . . . and I want this finished by today . . .
