  1. i think that unicycle will get stripped down after a week after delivery
    by some speed thursty Coker-junky. what becomes of it is a fun thing to
    think about though. i just cant see it staying on a 26" wheel for
    long.

    if had the cabbage to buy it i would use it to build a tandem like
    'this' (http://tinyurl.com/yw4se).

  2. If something is striped down does that make it more or less patriotic?

  3. Though this voting is mostly pointless, it might have some influence on
    the eventual buyer. After that it'll be up to them.

    I voted to keep it as-is because all Steve Howard unicycles are works of
    art. A 26/39" wheel seems to be more useful and flexible than would be
    an Uber Coker. It has the advantage of still fitting into relatively
    small places, but potentially a little more speed than a Coker.

    An Uber Coker sounds like a pretty specialized road machine, in that it
    will probably appeal most to someone who had a fairly level route the
    want to ride it on. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable riding one even
    on my relatively flat commute to work. But then again I haven't tried
    it...

    I'm tempted to bid on that beauty myself, but I've got too much invested
    in NAUCC and Unicon right now...

  4. I'd keep it as is. I love Steve's custom frames. I don't have much
    desire to UDP at over 20 MPH.

    I think the cool thing about this unicycle is that you can fly by
    sombody on it, and they'll wonder how you're going so fast without being
    able to pinpoint why.

    I also like the idea of a compact commuter. ...then again, I DO love my
    Hunter36.

  5. Think how cool a 20/30 would be for urban riding. You could carry it
    anywhere, put it in a locker, etc. No, I wouldn't do that to it, but
    it's a thought.
