Hey all you off-road bike lovers! This is a brand new category for those of us that dig the knobbiest of knobbies, like a little dirt and mud and grit in...

The throwback for riders who really want to throw it all the way back.

We check out Nick Larsen's entry for the Hack Bike Derby - the Charge Bikes HBD. Based on a Raleigh Bomber crossed with a Charge Steamer - this nod to the Klunkers that started MTB looks mega!

Classic & Vintage - 1948 Hawthorne Klunker - Here is my 48 Hawthorne finished project. It started out as a bare frame with cracked welds. I had everything repaired and had it powder coated Southwest yellow. It has red Rhyno Lite XL hoops laced to Sturmey Archer drum hubs. The rear is single speed freewheel. It has

WeThePeople combine BMX & heritage klunker mountain bike roots into the modern 27.5" steel WTP Avenger cruiser bike to shred dirt, park & trails!

Classic & Vintage - 1963 Schwinn American Urban Klunker/Cruiser - Picked up a clean 63 American. Stripped it down and added SE Big Honkin bars and a generous blue BMX stem. For a wheelset I used knockoff Araya 7X hoops laced to Sturmey Archer drum hubs and HD spokes with ThickSlicks . The cranks and BB are original

First of all, if you haven't watched the muddy, messy hell that is the Hack Bike Derby video, you should do that first. Ok? We all caught up?

Each of these builders had to adhere to the same rules during the creation of these dirt abominations: All builders were given the same brief; builders must race the bike…

The Klunker. What is it? A beautiful, retro-inspired, mash-up of part beach cruiser, part mountain bike, and part BMX. The perfect “DGAF” bike, for neighborhood cruises, trips to the corner store, and walking the dog….OR… if you’re feeling audacious, mount up and rip a trail. Built on a durable steel frame and fork wit

When I was an architect, a few clients came to us with project proposals, revolving around a key object like a doorknob, a bookcase, or some other heirloom piece. In essence, they wanted us to design a house around this object. Believe it or not, this happens a lot with bikes as well in what I call "Genesis components." Someone has a stem like a Ti Grammo Art or a crank like a Kooka and wants to build a complete around that part. More often than not, it's that heritage piece that really ties…

Still need a steerer tube space and a rear brake... not sure what to do but it rides pretty well.

Years ago I built my friend Art a "modern" klunker bike that used a 120mm fork and current geometry. It was a cool bike and ever since I have been kind of wanting one... Fast forward a few years to last weekend when I was looking at my new bending setup for unicrown forks. When I first st
