Nimbus 36" VS Coker
I am trying to decide between a Nimbus 36" or a Coker (which it looks none are available till 2008). Any opinions to which would be a better choice? Right now I ride a KH 24" that I just love!! But I want to add to my collection.

Nimbus 36" VS Coker
well i received my nimbus 36 two weeks ago, and have been commuting every other day 5.2 miles to work .... It is a blast. My T7 handle broke at a weld... :( but UDC quickly shipped a replacement.... (i like the handle, nice for climbing steep hills) my only qualms is how hard the 24 seems to ride in comparison.... the 36 inch wheel just goes... and is so smooth a ride. my muni seems sluggish and well no nearly as easy to maintain momentum etc... I think i would have been just as happy frame wise with the radial.. but the airfoil is great... -- wumpus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wumpus's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11764 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62931 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Coker are currently bringing out a new model. They have not released any info apart from a picture, where the uni is covered by a blanket. Therefore unfortunately no-one knows what spec the cokers available in 2008 will be, so we can't really answer your question. Having said that, I love my N36. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62931 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

From what I've heard here the word *currently* seems a bit optimistic. I have an nimbus 36 with T7 handle and airfoil rim and I love it. -- cathwood Cathy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cathwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9425 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62931 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Well they're currently in the process of bringing it out.:) When they've finished bringing it out is an entirely different matter, I think 2008 is probably a reasonable expectation. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62931 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The Nimbus 36 is a well-designed communter uni, affordable, and best of all, AVAILABLE. Just my view, but I don't think Coker will be coming out with anything so superior (and affordable) to make it worth delaying your gratification. Bird in the hand and all that...

My understanding (from e-mails that were published in forum threads) was that they're using an alloy rim and a new hub. They were also giving thought to different tyre designs. Last estimate I saw from them was that the new uni would be unveiled later this year. But if it's not, it would by no means be the first time their estimates had slipped ;) -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals!
