I think they were a 1996 -97 only deal. Used is going to be the only way...

Build your own...the link is actually one of my ebay saved searches for vintage bicycle.
Complete Bicycles [vintage]
http://collectibles.search.ebay.com/...SRCHXQ3aS RCH
Eventually I think I may want to buy/build myself a "Rat Rod"

You don't buy a "klunker." It's like the early days of surfing, where you found the tree, cut it down, dragged it to the beach and carved a surfboard.
Gary was not even the ultimate master of klunker construction. That title falls to the guy who shared the house with Gary and me, Alan Bonds.
Take yourself immediately to this site, and learn from Yoda himself.

Listen to Repack Rider.
This guy was at ground zero when it hit the fan in NoCal. If I had known what was coming, I would have begged to stay in Santa Cruz as a kid instead of moving to Alaska. It is clear to me that there were several people involved in the evolution of the sport. (and not just in Cali.)

As I understand it there were some east coast riders doing the same thing at the same time independantly of fisher.

I am sure that there were some canadians and euros going off roading at the same time. (and earlier)

My dad tells me stories of how in the 40s and 50 him and his frends would get bikes out of the junkyard and strip them down. They would take all the fenders and stuff off then put big tires on them to ride the trails in Wissahickon Park in philly. |

Try eBay. I got one and its a sweet, unique bike. I've forgotten it was made in Taiwan. Has Gary Fisher's signature on it, a homage to the first souped-up Schwinn Excelsior Cruiser mountain bike lore said he found in a farmer's chicken coop. Built it up and modded it and so the first mountain bike was born! I love mine!   |

Alan Bonds shared the house with me and Gary Fisher in the '70s. He built the nicest "clunkers" ever, and is the worldwide master of the craft, since Gary hasn't built one in 30 years.
Here is his website, and here is the page of clunkers for sale.
