Just got the E-Mail a few minutes ago.

If I wasn't buying a KH24 for a damn good price already... I would
probably be getting one of these new Cokers.

http://cokercycles.com/

Details

$569.95

add in a brake for $50 (that's cheap for a break).

The Nimbus 36 stock is a bit cheaper:

That has nothing to do with new Cokers being available... but... "The
Big One" is $440.

Your kidding, right? I quoted the price of the new Coker. Comparing it
to existing "36'ers" has everything to do with it being available.

what do you think though.. I am about to pre order on of these for ride
the lobster. I am so seriously torn between these two and the nimbus
36.. any input?

Our local email list has been discussing it too. It is tough.

N36 - 21.5 pounds w the 2.2 pound T7 handle
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=961)

Coker V2 - 20 pounds w/out handle.
Coker big one - 16 pounds! but is it strong enough?

For me, it would be tough to say without riding both (with a brake). I
currently have a N36, and had one of the older Coker big one's
(steel!)

Ah! A *huge* thing I missed; the Nimbus (N36) currently has the *old*
steel rim, and not the stronger airfoil rim. The new "big one" sounds
like the best deal of them all....

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the price of the "Big One"
If you click the link to Coker Cycles, you'll see that the price they
are quoting is $439.95. If you want the brake, it's an extra $60.00.
Total $499.95. Cheaper than the Nimbus 36".

At 16 pounds, you really can't go wrong.

The only thing that made me hesitate ordering was the december
delivery. I'd like think after all these delays they would have
stocked up on parts and been ready to start shipping. I was really
hoping for a disc-ready (i.e. no extensive modification) compatible
hub/frame combo this time.

Is the only difference between the new Big One and the V2 the frame?
Because if that is the case, the Big One seems a lot better because it
is 4 pounds lighter! Am I missing something here?

I also wonder what the weight difference is between the old frame and
the new big one frame.

.

It is possible that the alum frame may flex (or the opposite, may be
too stiff and develop cracks), which wouldn't be as good for running a
brake.

But, it is all hard to say until we actually see and ride them.

Thats a "December or later" delivery. I think they are wise not to give
out hard dates until they have product in hand. That's why there is no
date on KH/Schlumph hubs. I'm sure Coker is working hard to stock up on
all the parts before they start shipping, though they may just be
waiting for whatever parts are being manufactured overseas, while tires
might be already made...

That's why I was reluctant, they didn't really meet any of their prior
tentative dates for way-points on the project. I guess I should have
said -"December"- considering all the prior setbacks and delays with
this new model. (In quotes and italicized to emphasize the absolute
tenativity of the proposed delivery month) And that kind of was my
point, they have delayed at every step of the process. (Come on! The
preorder site was down and delayed the psuedo launch for more than a
day)

Ok I just got another email from Kendal Kaylor at Coker Cycles. I asked
him about alternative Road tire choices and shipping dates on
pre-orders. Here's his reply on 11/14/07:

<<Hi Terry,

Yes, the new unicycles will ship with the original Coker button tread
tire. The new Coker XLR road tire is currently in development and we
expect to see a sample very soon.
_It_should_be_available_during_the_first_quarter_of_2008._

As it stands right now, we appear to be on track to ship the new models
during the first two weeks of December
_barring_no_complications_with_the_components_clearing_customs_, etc.
We’re doing everything we can to make pre-Christmas delivery a
reality.

Best regards,

Kendall>>

Too bad Schwalbe doesn't make a 36" version of their Big Apple.

There's plenty of room for 36" tire improvement. Almost 4 lbs for a
tire is archaic.
