klunkers or clunkers

[spoker]

i see bikes called klunkers when i feel they acually are clunkers,which were pre-mountain bike mountain bikes there is some interesting history on this site clunkers.net

I have seen it spelled both ways and Schwinn called their bikes like that Klunkers and volume of sales made that name stick. Roger

ya missed the point,read clunkers.net

Clunkers.net is really the only place with any authority that I can find that spells it like that, mostly everyone I see spells it Klunker. I think the answer lies in the Mountain bike hall of fame, and they spell it Klunker so I believe that it should probably be Klunker not clunker

Maybe they used Clunker.net in orger to get a web address. Klunkers was probably already taked. Roger

Proof positive that 100 degrees in Minnesota really does fry your brain.
