  1. I was talking to Darren, and he has Cokers in stock.

    While not Airfoil, this batch has alloy rims, not steel!

    Time to get your Coker in time for Cleveland 😄

    He said price was (give or take, get exacts from him) about $525cd, or
    because american orders are cheaper for him, you are looking at roughly
    $350us shipped (that's what the viscount and plastic pedals,
    methinks)

    Yaay!

  6. After yesterday's awesome Coker ride (my first) I have bumped the Coker
    near the top of my unicycle to-get list.

    I have a few questions on the Bedford Alloy Coker. I understand that
    contacting him directly would be the best way to get most of the
    information I need, but I figure I'd check here first for an objective
    opinion.

    Have any of you bought or rode this cycle yet?

    How strong is the alloy rim compared to the stock steel rim and the air
    foil?

    Is the rim strong and smooth enough to run a brake?

    Is it really only 350 USD? When I ran the Canadian price through a
    currency converter it came out to 427 USD.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

  8. I have bought one from him. It is due in this week. It was $350 shipped
    until I had him weld on Magura brake mounts true the wheel and then
    powdercoat it black. The total shipped cost was $440. Darren says the
    alloy rims are very good. I'll let you know what I think when it gets
    here.
    LET IT BE SOON 🙂

  9. Anyone know if the new alloy stock Coker rim is double walled?

    Someone needs to post pictures of this new rim and other details about
    the new rim.

  10. I've got a coker with the new rim. However I wouldn't know how to tell
    if it's double walled, nor do I have a digital camera so can't tell you
    if it's double walled or post any piccies of it. Aren't I a useful
    person to know.

    I'm going to check out Darren's website, that should have all the
    details. Should have photos too.

  15. Whatever you do don't buy a steel rim if you plan on riding in snow,
    rain or mud. It will rust.
