I think they're listening to us! The specs sound pretty nice.

Man, having "Coker" printed on all the stuff makes it so much better.
🙄

Is it just me, or does that saddle have a pretty deep curve? I tend to
prefer flatter saddles for distance riding.

I think you're missing the point here. With a deeper curve, such as
the one in the previous picture, your testicles are going to be forced
more forward and upward. Now, in combination with the right kind of
shorts, it will look like your penicular area is very large. Just
another way to use the unicycle to impress teh womenz.

Hear hear! It actually looks like the standard criticisms of the
vanilla coker really have been addressed - it's not just an incremental
update! Now, if they'll be so kind as to introduce a muni tyre, I
think I'll just go right ahead and swoon. Then I'll propose marriage
to the entire Coker company.

I'm not very impressed, I like the way things are going but... the
saddle looks like the old Velo saddles, much rub because it's high
profile and its banana shaped, not comfortable. The cranks look good
besides being too long and the pedals don't even have removable pins. I
don't get the mystery, just release your unicycle because this way, I'm
not going very positive on the unicycle. I was very interested to know
about the new coker but this is a bit dissapointing. A frame with a
weird shape, old style saddles, standard pedals, seat posts that every
company is making already, where is the big change? The only thing I
like so far are the cranks and well, about the frame, we will see.

Well, the deep saddle padding might improve distance comfort if done
well. I'm not so fussed about this part though. I think the key point
is that Coker are going to release a unicycle that doesn't immediately
need all of its components to be upgraded in order to make it practical
(i.e. that the changes are an improvement on the previous model, which
I doubt any serious riders were buying at all anymore given the
alternatives)

We'll see... but there was supposed to be some kind of new hub, plus
an alloy rim coming out. I'm mostly interested in what they do for
tyres.

Did they say it was going to be big? I think Coker's goal has been to
make improvements while keeping the price as low as possible. I never
suspected they would put a splined hub on (nor do they need one). The
frame looks cool, but we'll have to see how they work before judging.

Cranks too long? For a few people. I think 150 and 125 are the two best
sizes to offer. People going longer and shorter are specialists,
outside the mainstream of Coker buyers.

The seat is a huge improvement over the original. Remember, the
original seat was a Viscount! This one won't need immediate
replacement.

what if this was just an elaborate hoax by coker? have us waiting day by
day for updates, and then just have the coker be the exact same as it
was.

Those pedals don't look very 'alloy'😕

Cranks look like they have a fairly large q-angle by the way the light
falls on them, not necessarily a negative but if it has a wide hub too
it could be quite a big q.

I actually do think having Coker logos on everything does make it look
nicer, hopefully it will turn out to be a decent affordable distance
uni.

I'm just guessing that the stuff they've shown us so far isn't the big

surprise

If you take the image from the first newsletter and brighten it you can
see some
more details about the frame -- see the attachment (if it works). It
looks quite
beefy (and heavy).

The rim, tire and HUB are what I'm waiting to hear about! I hope, HOPE
they lose that crappy steel rim and offer *only* a good, strong DW alum
rim! TWO tire choices would also be nice; one for road, one for trails.

It'd be nice if it was aluminum.

I don't know if you were talking to me, but I was talking about the
frame, not the cranks.

For a frame with that much tubing, I think weight-wise, it would only
be feasible if it was aluminum.
