A Klunker is the name given to the original mountain bikes that were created in Marin County, CA back in the 70s.

Guy's like Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Alan Bonds, Charlie Kelly, Tom Ritchey are some of the pioneers of the sport and they created the Klunker.

You can watch the trailer for the documentary called "KLUNKERZ" here:

Im in....as long as its just for fun!!

it's always fun, right?

[schwinnmesa]

I'm so down for this!!!

[Rat Rod]

I think we could do a Klunker inspired mini build off.

This keeps everyone from thinking they have to build a spot on replica of one of Alan's bikes above.

It would totally be for fun...although I may have a prize for best Klunker compliments of Billy Savage.
