  1. I am investigating getting a coker, and need some advise.

    I am going to have an Airfoil Rim with UDC wide coker hub.

    What frame should I chose? I am thinking custom but need some prices,
    and pros and cons for the different frames.

    I would love pictures of the different frames

    The frames I have heard of are Hunter, Wyganowski, Max's dad, George
    Barnes. Are there any others, what is the price for these?

  6. Well I was thinking of having it built in the UK at unicycle.uk.com, and
    just have the frame from the USA. I hope this will save shipping.

  7. David Stockton is building me one with a Hunter frame. I'm sure he'll
    have some advice...

  8. Rick does a nice job too. Some shorter people (me, for instance) have
    leg clearance issues with the GB4 configuration, but not the Hunter.

  9. Well I am 1,90 meter high, so I hope leg clearance will not be a
    problem. I find the Hunter frames a bit to expensive for me (but it is
    really the nicest in my opinion). So I am mostly loooking at the other
    options.

    Yeah, I can highly recommend the GB4 frame, as well as the combination
    GB4/U-Turn handle. It's a great setup.

    Like U-Turn, I'm on the shorter side, and while I've had a small issue
    with the "clearance problem" that he mentioned, I've been able to get
    past it via some saddle adjustment advice (thanks John_Childs) and
    pedaling adjustment advice (thanks Andy_Cotter).

    I have a Hunter 24, so it was a tough choice to not go with the Hunter
    for my custom 36. At the end of the day, the GB4 was more affordable at
    a time when I was already investing a lot into the overall $etup.
