When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. Emo Philips

Re: Klunker b/o
just throwing this out there, but can we get a definition of "Klunker" I know people say search it on the site but it doesnt give me much of an idea. I probably wont enter this one because I need to finish something else first........
Re: Klunker b/o
Yeah.... I always thought that a Klunker referred to a old bike with a modern drivetrain. It wasn't until I found this site that I learned what a real "klunker" was. If you want to know about Klunkers click on the banner add for the Klunkers DVD thats on the top of the page. There is lots of cool footage and info on the whole Klunkin movement and how it all began. And as far as what a "Klunker" is..... man who cares. That gets back to the same as what is a "Rat Rod"..... You should worry about what you want the bike to do and how you want the bike to look. If it doesnt fit into the cookie cutter mold of what someone else says is a "_______" well who cares.... As far as Im concerned any bike is not a mountain bike but modified to be used on rough terrain is a Klunker, what makes it a Klunker is that fact that you desided it to call it one. (within reason of course... you couldn't build a Burrito or a chopper and call it a Klunker very well, you get the idea)
Im gonna build a bike for this build off.... And Its not going to really be a Klunker, At least as I undrestand them. But its what I want.... And Im excited about it. Its not going to be a Klunker because it will have a derailure, modern wheels, good brakes and a suspension fork.... Klunkers had coaster brakes and ballooner wheels... because thats all they had! Anyway personally I think Klunkers are one of the coolest and most versital off all custom bike category's. Without the klunker movement the whole world would be a diffrent place. Those guys literally changed biking as we know it on such a massive scale, can you imagine a world without the mountain bike? Even though I would guess most of the members of this forum are not hard core Mt bikers you have to see that without mountain bikes the whole bike economy would only be a very small fraction of what it its today. I bet well over half of all bikes sold would fit in Mt bike catagory... and its all because of some guy bombin down a hill on a old pre war schwinn at insane speeds.... with nothin but a coaster brake and a prayer!

Re: Klunker b/o
i think that the build off should have to be done with a new bike, not necessarily new but something that u havent already made a build off bike out of. but then again who am i to talk, i didnt even enter the last BBO, i was too much of a noob then and joined about 3weeks before the deadline. but im definately down for the klunker build off. not trying to make ya sad in the pants bigred, but a build off really shows a bike builders talent and is an expression of the builders ideas. and if you use a bike that youve already built, then thats just too easy. hope i didnt hurt anyones feelings, wasnt goin for that. just my 2cents.
also- is there any real rules to this build off? i know were supposed to build it as we would think of a klunker, im thinking for mine going with a new school meet old school mtb bike/ klunker look. im really looking forward to being a part of this though! Easy E ITS NOT EASY BEIN EASY...but somebodys gotta do it!!!
