    I ordered an airfoil rim for my coker from unicycle.com.
    now I have a questions. If the wheel is he most important
    thing what about the frame. For stictly road use is my
    stock coker frame good enough or do I shell out $350 for a
    Hunter? I would eventually like add a break. Thanks for the
    expert opinions.

    The Coker frame will get you by, but you should know that
    the Hunter frame at $350 US is a bargain!!

    I saw Aaron Svec of S.Dakota ride hundreds of miles on a
    STOCK Coker. See: unitours.org/tours/EUT/ Aaron is the guy
    in the cowboy hat.

    I just assembled my first H36 with Dave Stockton's wheel
    (larger hub). I took it out with Rob Bowman and Bronson
    Silva last Sunday. We rode up in Nisene Marks Forest near
    Santa Cruz, CA. We covered the mt. out and back was 28
    miles. The H36 is a cross between my Wilder MUni 24 and
    my unibago. It handled the fireroads really well. The
    Hunter frame is much stiffer than I'm used to and so is
    the new wheel.

    When I can get the pictures ready, I'll post some. I'll also
    have an adj. ext. bar made for me by Rick Hunter.

    More to follow.

    Well, My dad builds frames up to order. Includes brake
    bosses, choice of paint colors, for 160 plus shipping. I
    dont have a picture ready, otherwise I'd attach one.

    I can't speak for the Hunter 36, but I have a Hunter 24
    frame for my muni and I love it.

    The answer to your question on the stock Coker frame I think
    actually depends on the hub, not the rim. There are fewer
    frames which fit the extra-wide. The Hunter is one. I almost
    went that direction, but decided on the GB4 instead from
    George Barnes, with the wide hub and U-Turn's strongest
    coker wheel. I'm still working on my first hundred miles on
    it, but no regrets...it's a great machine. Either of these
    two frames will do you really well.
