Hi oxford. I have two here for personal/local use and also make them
for people. I have had to increase the price to cover costs but waited
for a while until we had gotten rid of most of the uncertainty.
Nathan's first wheel was a big gamble on his and my part (thanks again
Nathan) and things have improved a lot since. The rims and hubs have
improved as well as the time to obtain the wheel and the method of
shipping. The price is now $615 plus shipping. This includes tire,
tube, SKF bearings, Airfoil rim, custom wide hub, custom-cut s-steel 14
g spokes, nickel/brass wide-flange nipples, steel valve extension for
easier mounting, metal valve cap with core tool, poly rim tape, 4 spare
spoke setups, highest-quality wheel build, and lifetime warrantee on the
truing. In addition, I dress the rim surface as required for
unparalleled braking smoothness, etch the wheel's serial number on the
hub, and give the hub two coats of clear Krylon for better weather
protection. I also provide a small "owner's manual."
There is an additional $20 charge for the shipping box, which is 500 lb
test mil-spec stapled cardboard and is suitable for long-term shipping
worldwide for all your adventures. The boxes were expressly sized and
cut for these Coker wheels. Shipping to overseas customers might
involve additional fees; I know little about that at this time.
Presently there are three suitable/compatible frames. You can easily
widen the stock Coker frame, which works great for quite a while. When
you want to use brakes, I recommend either a GB4 or Hunter. Both
framemakers do beautiful work. If you purchase the frame through me,
then I will do a lot of sizing work to ensure that the frame fits your
body dimensions properly, including requesting special frame dimensions
from the framemakers. I do not know if they offer that service or not
for Coker frames. I'm sure that Rick Hunter does that for bicycle
frames, though.
There are many compatible cranks, from the $20 Miyatas up to Nathan's
$450 adjustable cranks (not fully tested yet).
I can also do really nice air seats (CF too), full Magura setups, the
GBDS handle, headlights, cyclometers, dual rear waterbottles, and I
almost have a working rear cargo carrier solution. The latter two do
not yet fit all customers/frames.
I also service everything I sell, so you have a place to send your
whatever for refurb.
