I can't watch Klunkerz Scott, as much as I like to, the only few sources are usually online and that tv programme where that bloke go all over the country getting bits for his 'dream' bike.
I'm aware that Clunkers were old beach cruiser being modified quick downhill fun, just wasn't aware that 'clunkers' does not just mean the type of bike (like XC, downhilling, dual slalom etc.)
You're forgetting something important here though Ed.
When Clunkers were named there were no other sub categories of similar bikes like there are now.
Obviously they described a type of bike, but that type of bike was specific to the very small number of modified beach cruisers these guys n gals were riding.
They weren't buying a brand new bike from the shop and calling it a clunker as there were no bikes that were anything like them.
Clunker covered such a specific type of bike compared to XC, or DH, or DS....of which there are thousands and thousands of variations.
The point being that your bike is more of an ATB than anything else, but i'd say it's a far stretch to label it a clunker. Everything on it was designed for the purpose you're using it for.
