I think I'll get in on this one also.

I have a 16" cantilever Mongoose frame with a derailuer hanger and canti posts on it. I think I'll do it up as a single chainring, 7 speed rear rig. Suspension fork, v brakes blah blah blah.

It will be almost entirely black.

After watching the Klunkerz DVD, I agree, there can't be rules, that would kinda against the counter-culture spirit of the original Klunkerz. Also, there isn't really a set definition of what klunker bike should be like, because the style changed over the years, as they tried out new technology and different components. I even saw some bikes in the film footage that had banana seats, and even some with ape-hangers!

Anything goes, as long as you can ride it down the side of a hill, I suppose

As some of you might have noticed, I'm in. I got this bike 2 weeks ago for $10 and I almost didn't take it. Space is a premium for me right now. No rules is great, nuff said, let's build.

Wow! that's pretty cool. Looking at all the cool entries has got me itching to finally start my own build.

I might jump in with a bike towards the end, I have most of the parts gathered up but not much time on my hands. Lots of business obligations, a grandbaby due the end of the month and my oldest son is getting married in November. You know... the usual stuff

[OUTLAW]
