coker from the coker tire company

Has any one out there bought a coker from the coker tire company?
They advertise them for around $ 350.
To good to be true?

Looking for a faster ride Dave,

I'm sure that's U.S. dollars.
I bought my Coker from Coker Tire Co. through ebay. Every so often,
they put one on auction at ebay. I purchased mine at a very discounted
price

It may be cheaper to get them from Unicycle.com in the US.

$329 US for a coker.

Plus you have the advantage of dealing with a company who's primary
business is unicycles, so they can give you good advice.

Note the above price is for a standard coker which comes with a pretty
basic rim. A log of people prefer to upgrade to an airfoil rim which
costs a whole lot more (around another $100). You save on rotaing
weight and get a stronger rim which means a lighter, faster more robust
unicycle.

bear in mind the quality of service you would receive.
I bought mine direct from the UK Coker importer (a tyre importer).
1 - They charged MORE than unicycle.uk.com
2 - The saddle came without bolts (as per the whole shipment). If I
didn't have a spare saddle, I would have been stuffed. Unicycle.com had
spare bolts and added them to the ones they sold.
3 - should I mention that the pedals lasted a couple of miles? not
really relevant.
4 - should I mention the quality of the bearings? (they fell off the
first time I too the wheel out of the frame, and I didn't trust them, so
I replaced the hub & bearings as soon as I could.) That's not really
relevant either, as you'll get the same quality no matter who you get it
from.

It's just a matter of the after-sales service you'd expect, comparing
e-bay, to a tyre manufacturer who doesn't care about unicycles, to a
specialist retailer with good service.

For those of you wating for coker tires to come back in stock on
unicycle.com (i've already ordered mine and have been wating for at
least a month), this site sells them and seems to have them in stock.
They are $50 plus $10 shipping. (hey maybe this site should give me some
store credit for advertising for them so much )
