Changing to smaller cranks

But I know that sometime in the future that I will want a Coker.

Not that that would be a problem, there is nothing wrong with ending up with four unicycles, is there?

Oh decisions decisions..........

Like you I started on a Pashley then, due to cost, bought a 28". Within a year I had a Coker as well so you don't save money! Since then the 28" has been upgraded into an improved 29er.

Overall I prefer the Coker for road riding, although I still take out the 29er for variety. The main disadvantage of a Coker is getting it in the car (with luggage and family). In this situation the 29er is far superior hence I would never get rid of either wheel size.

In the last couple of years Coker availability in the UK has been intermittent. From Roger's latest newsletter I believe a batch is due in around now, you might want to consider this or be prepared to wait!

I currently have 6 assembled wheels, 8 frames, a spare hub, lots of cranks & even more old saddles. Therefore 4 Uni's would be fine!
