Aunt Samantha THE Klunker 6

Transition introduced the Klunker in late 2012. A beefed up version of a bicycle resembling some of the earliest bikes taken to the rocks and dirt. The very thought of taking this terrifying machine down some of our local trails in Western Colorado just seemed, right. I missed out on the first color batch and preordered the orange Klunker from the second batch. I'm sure I'm not the only one that named mine/her 'The General Lee.' After taking her out on our local trails, terrifying myself on a fully rigid bike attempting to calculate my speed into corners with only a coaster brake, I was resort bound. Vibrating my very being and full on skidding all of Evolution Bike Parks flow trail berms in Crested Butte, I was sold. I wasn't the only one. Videos and pictures popped up from riders nation wide hitting drops, jumps and shredding trails that no good mechanic could suggest with a clear conscience. Then they dropped color batch 3 (mind.....blown). The website states "ready to rip trails right out of the box with no upgrades required." Well, I just couldn't resist myself and here is my Deity dressed Klunker #2, "Aunt Samantha."
