Now Featured on Klunkers: YOU!

Hey—I had (what I hope) is a good idea. And it came from one of your comments. So I figured this weekend was as good a chance as any to test it out.

One of our regular commenters, Mike H, dropped this gem in a recent comment on the post “Help! A Newbie Needs Advice on the Best Klunker!“

This blog/community doesn’t update on the daily, but that’s the beauty of it to me….just chillin’ and hangin’ out when we get a chance *cheers*

I mean, he’s right.

I post a couple times a month—on a good month. I love this site and I love this community more, but you know, this is just a passion project. And I have two kids. And all that other stuff.

(Plus, I actually like to get out and ride on the weekends!)

But YOU. You folks have proven yourselves AMAZING resources and sources of information. From Gordon S. and his years of experience; to the “Reader’s Rides” and more.

So… what do you say? Wanna make this official?

Wanna write for Klunkers?

It’s pretty simple, actually. In the biz, we call it UGC—user generated content. I embed a form (below) and you submit articles.

I’ll clean ’em up (I am not expecting Pulitzer stuff here, just write with passion) and post ’em!

If we get this really rolling, I may bring in some processes to speed things up but let’s start simple.

The form below will help you structure out your post and submit images too.

What should you write about? I dunno. But how about:

Builds you’re working on
Bike reviews
Event recaps
Photo essays from bike shows or events
Ride routes
Op-eds
And anything else that rings true to KLUNKERS

OH—and one other thing… are you involved in an event? Please scroll down and use our Event Listing submission. I’ll be building an events page as well… shortly.

And before you ask, no I’m not paying any of you. I don’t get paid for this either. You see any ads? 😉

OK. Let’s do this!

Note: if you fill either of these forms out too quickly, it’ll get flagged as spam. So take your time!

Most people one way or another flock to some kind of art/art work something that was created by man rather than a computer. (The Human Connection / vision to a blank canvas and when we do so the old can become the new and others will gather around and reply or think why didn’t I think of that?) Kinda like comparing a Toyota Prius to a 59 Chevy Impala. One car looks like a giant wedge to shove under a door and one looks like a work of art. Which One? You be the judge. Why is the Klunker bike becoming popular again? For exactly what I said above? Look at a vintage Track Bike with a Lugged frame you can still get a bike like that new built by a Master Frame Builder in Japan. Those bikes are built by a man with a torch rather than a tig welder and not mass produced. A single speed bike simple that can reach speeds up to 60mph clean. Check out the Nitto Jaguar hand-bar stem with the deep MJS Nitto Deep Drop bars and the huge 50 something chain ring these bikes run. You take a few steps back and take it all in and what you’re looking at is the Art off the bicycle. No cables / No space age carbon fiber. A simple bike built by man. The Klunker has the same vibe only it is not for a smooth oval but rather the bike to explorer and to challenge one self to conquer places and hills you thought not possible on a single speed or minimal amount of gears like the way the successful generation used to do it. Klunking is not for powder puffs. As the saying goes you weekend warriors Klunkin ain’t easy. Even on the street you face a hill you charge it at the base full on and you might be amazed almost out of steam at the top but you made it anyway con grad you made it. And you thought you were gonna walk it over the top. How embarrassing. What if the ladies are watching ? If you conquer them hills you might be successful in life. A Klunker will teach you not to quit. Klunkin is Bicycle Boot Camp are you Inn ? We have new production bikes these days but still the old thirties to sixties style is still apparent the appeal is still remains. The curved top tube to resemble something like a old BF Goodrich balloon tire bike is still there along with the sweeping curved rear tubes that join the rear axial brake. ( Style ) The art of the bicycle that is the Draw of the Klunker for Someone that is looking for something different. We are lucky these days because there so many parts that we can add to these rides to not only look better but perform better as well than what was available yesteryear. If your bike looks good you’ll want to ride it. Check out Mone Bikes .com the bike in the gallery called the (Ma Copper) for instance. A new custom hand built bike that looks antique but is modern and almost looks like jewelry in a funny sort of way that says ride me. It has the Human Connection. Even the Surly low side though a modern bike has a vintage look about it. The slope back top tube and the front forks and that tasteful blue color on the example above just has a classic look that is not out of place here on this site as well as the Kona Huma Huma and check out the new Huma that Mark Pilgrim mentions in the Cat Nip build that he informed me of. It has the Klunker vibe as well. Keep in mind the more input and busy this site becomes the more popular the Klunker movement will become that opens up the market for new models if the demand is there. Don’t think the manufactures don’t watch this web. Page. Who knows maybe Klunker D. Has woken the dead. ☠️ (KINDA WHAT EVER WORKS- HUH?) Nice Picture Up Above Mr. D.👨‍🎨
