Clunker Cruiser

A couple of weeks ago when we were on a roadie ride with a few friends one of the girls we ride with was telling the wife and I that her and her husband have a couple of beach cruisers that they take out once in a while just for fun. My wife said that we should pick up a couple to join them. Whenever I have spousal support to buy another bike, I jump on it! I picked up an Electra 3 speed cruiser for her and started looking to see what I wanted to get when I came across the Felt Klunker. It's modeled after the bikes the mountain bike pioneers rode way back when. BMX bars, crank & clamp stem with a 2 speed kick-back hub shifter and a coaster brake. And, it is a 29er. Adrenaline called and said it arrived today so I swung by and grabbed it. Seems like it's going to be a super fun beach path bike.

 

Felt has a lot of cool cruisers.

 

Righteous bike!!

 

That thing is begging to tear-up some fire road or the fully loop.

 

That looks like fun...

What kind of tires are those? Just curious...

 

Cruisers are a load of fun. Enjoy that relationship strengthener

 

That is actually a good looking bike. Wheels are the only upgrade I would do to turn it into a decent coastie SS.

 

I have the same one, still brand new. Can't wait to ride it. My buddy also has the same one and has a loaded bar and stem on it? If i may ask what did you pay for it? Felt had them on sale except the white one.

 

That's a classy looking bike, love it! and it's a 2 speed, and perfect cable routing

 

There is a Transition Klunker on Craigslist, would like to pick it up also.

 

They just say "Duro" on them. No model name.

 

It was $509 from Adrenaline Cycles. By far the cheapest bike I have purchased in years!

 

Less is more.

Unless you want to climb 10,000 feet.

 

That thing looks sick, I won a Transition Klunker at the Sea Otter Cliff bar Klunker Crit but had the hardest time adjusting to the coaster brakes when cornering. Would love one of these with disc brakes and a free hub.

 

I gotta admit, I'm kinda jealous. Nice rig!

 

I like it!
Been talking to misses about rides like that lately....

 

As noted, that looks like a pure fun bike!

Look what's happening Sunday (sorry image so big...)

 

I love the look of bikes without cables and huge graphics. Classic paint scheme. Love it.

I wonder how a sprung seat would look like this:
