So the saddle. I'll get the KH for sure, but is the fusion worth it? I
mean, I don't think I need a removeable cover, but is that a very
helpful feature?

its worth geting the reomvable cover if your planing on converting it
to an air saddle

Also, the crank length. I don't have to worry about lots of hills or
rough terrain. I also don't plan on going as fast as possible. Should I
go with the longer cranks?

if i where you i would get the 125's for now than upgrade to pdc's
kookas (i have them)

Quoted message said:

Is the brake even worth it? I mean, don't you still have to slow down to
avoid an UPD? Can you throttle the brake, like, press it down a little
to create a little friction, and slowly ease to a stop? I would like
the brake, but I don't know if it would be worth the extra 100 (but if
it would be useful in a city setting, I would like to get it)

if you not gona be rideing steep hills of in the city than i would say
there not needed and you can alwyas get the later

Quoted message said:

And finally, the spokes. Is 12 gauge going to suit me for normal
sidewalk/road terrain? Or should I go the extra 40 bucks for the 14
gauge? Is it a noticeable difference?

thats what i have and i ride muni and have only ajusted them like twice
so i would say the 12s are fine

Fusion seat: I love mine, but I don't know of any difference between it
and the standard KH seat

Crank length: the 150 length is generally too big, and 125 may take you
some getting used to. I recommend switching to Dotek 140mm cranks. I
have them and I love them. I've climbed some pretty big hills with my
140s. As you get more comfortable on your Coker you will move to 125s.
I'm going to switch to 125s.

Brakes: Most people don't use or need them, but I'd love to have them
when I'm riding a steep hill descent. I'm thinking about getting some
sort of brake for that reason. If you don't live in a hilly area you
don't need them.

Spokes: I have the standard spokes on a standard steel Coker wheel and
I've had no problem. That being said, this would be a worthwhile
investment for you. Any performace improvement you can get out of your
wheel is worth it. I am going to upgrade to the UDC Airfoil rim
wheelset with the spoke upgrade.

I upgraded my pedals to Twisted PC pedals.

Hope that helps. You will love Cokering.
