Cokers will never be as ugly as senseless polls.

Cokers are totally cool. The big wheel may look odd but they don't look that bad.🙂

Well as much as they are there for the speed, not the looks, I prefer the look of the nimbus 36er

Well no, as some people might not want to spend loads on upgrading their uni just to make it look good.

There are some of us that will upgrade our unis to make them perform better.

I would have to say that the *process* of Cokering is not very aesthetic. I was on a combined big wheel/bike/rollerblade road ride a while back, and it pointed out to me how much biking and rollerblading are more aesthetically pleasing than Coker riding. The big wheel is impressive, but the wobbling and riding position is ugly.

Ok fair enough but if yo0u can get a good deal and also get a uni that looks good within the price, then thats what you want isn't it. It may not be a coker -but i think u get pretty good/perfect aesthetics when u buy a KH20 07.

Wouldn't be very good with distance though. 🙄

Hmm... Thats exactly why I said it's not a coker lol. Was just an example.

A suitably ridden coker should have too much speed blur to be seen clearly.
I prefer the look of my N36 over the stock coker frame, it just looks a little more balanced between the frame/sadlle/handle and the wheel, a stock coker looks like an enormous wheel with a tiny frame on it.
