by Andy Cotter
Here are some pictures of the custom Coker that is being for the European Unicycle Tour
The Coker is made by Paul Wyganowski.

The 'serial' number is the shiny chrome while the rest is 'frosty' chromed. Thanks to Neil
Younggren to help polish the area where the numbers went.

| Me on my Coker before it was finished (all the
pictures below this are of it before the frame was chromed and the extension was
finished). Here are some specs of my custom Coker: Custom Frame made by Paul Wyganowski. The custom frame allows the use of Miyata bearing holders. Replaced original hub with Suzue hub. Using IDOL 125 mm cranks. More info below

Here is a good shot of one of the better features. The handle/extension. The idea for the extension was so the rider could see the cycle computer easily while riding and adjust the drag break. As the idea played out, the bumpers and extension became one of the better ideas. The extension is made of 7/8 X 049 (1.2mm thick) Cro-Molly tubing. The bumpers are made of 7/8 X 058 (1.6 mm thick) Cro-Molly tubing. The bumpers are made of thicker tubing to handle those "unforseen dismounts"

Really big and close up under the seat. The rear bumper was added to a water bottle carrier could be easily added. In this case, I have a storage container instead of water bottle. |
