Klunkers becoming a thing again is a pretty genius idea when you think about it. Reverse engineer the modern mountain bike back to its roots - when it was an indestructible cruiser tuned to go off sick jumps. Just pure fun. The affordable prices spit in the face of the ultra-commercialized $$$$ unattainable grabbel industry.
I guess that's probably why BMX bikes with 26-29 wheels are a thing now. People just want to have a fun, affordable bike that can do everything. Who would have though?
>>1817470>>1817485You could definitely just make a custom rear wheel for whatever Klunker you decide to get, with either a coaster brake or a shimano nexus setup as anon mentioned. That would be a really dope bike.
The main problem with the Retrospec and the Sully is that they're made of high tensile steel instead of chromolly. If you don't mind the aesthetics you could look for BMX bikes with 27.5 tires. They're basically the exact same thing as a Klunker barring frame aesthetics.
