This would be fun as hell to ride! Coaster brakes take my back to the days when I was a kid and jumping my Magna and skidding my rear tires across peoples yards. Man I was an a$$ when I was a kid haha

[in the trees]

The guys at TR have too much fun!

[ignazjr]

Klunking 2 with Tone-Loc premiered at our Shoot The Trails event on Saturday night. It's pretty much over the top.

Coaster brakes!

If I lived in the states or on a relatively flat "commutable" city i'd be buying one of these and leaving my truck for off roading only lol

[VTSession]

cool ass bike, I like how Transition doesn't take themselves too seriously.

[LostBoyScout]

Pretty much the ultimate bar bike (though in Vancouver having fenders on the bar bike is pretty important) that you can then go rip around the trails with too.

I can't imagine riding this bike sober, but man I would love to ride it with a 2-3 beer buzz.

[karatemonkey]

I know our local tribe is going to be rolling deep with 'em. Perfect Fruita- 18 Rd. beer buzz bike. Can't Wait!! Thanks TR

[evasive]

Holy cow, that is super cool!

The training montage music is really doing its part selling me. Want.

[ryan123]

Want one now! When are they going to be available, anyone heard date?

[ballaholyk84]

Talked with Transition the other day and all of the first run are already sold out. Basically if you want one, you better find your local Transition dealer and see if you can lock it down. I did that today when I purchased my Black and Blue one as pictured in the OP. Cant beat $550 for these.

Also Transition said they will be hitting the shops that have already ordered them approx. mid January. They said the Black/Blue and White/Red are only for the first runs. The next run is available to get on an order for possibly mid May's shipment. They are going to be (take this lightly and from what I heard) Orange and something like an old school Barracuda "Green" color.

So if you are wanting one then you better jump on it now and find one to reserve or pay for now!

this is awesome. the first time i see somebody ridding one of those at trestle next year, i'm buying that guy a beer.

[archieaxe]

This WILL be my next bike. Awesomesauce!

[dirtracer]

Got a mid 70's Schwinn Heavi Duti that set the stage. Steel frame heavy duty wheels and balloon tires. Looks like a cool update. No "real" news here.

Awesomesauce? WTF? Izzat a boy band?

How quick do you anticipate them selling out?

[DH40]

Wanted a TR250, was trying to swing a Double, must have a Klunker.

White and Black Klunkers have already sold out via Transition. You'll have to find one at a dealer. The next batch of Klunkers will be in the Spring.

Spring training in Giant's Orange!

I e-mailed Drop n Zone months ago asking for a matte black Klunker, they said they would keep my e-mail and let me know when they where going to get some in. Then about three weeks ago I e-mailed them again and got no response. I guess it just isn't meant to be.
