Bottom line
State Bicycle Co.’s Klunker is a throwback dedication to the first full-sized off-road bikes. Before the mountain bike, there was the klunker. The first klunkers were adapted beach cruisers with knobby tires. Like the first klunkers, State’s Klunker is built from hi-tensile steel and equipped with a coaster brake. From all accounts, the Klunker is low-cost, but not cheap or nasty. It’s just a simple, fun bike that works ‘as is’ or lies in wait for creative customization.
