GMBN Tech Ride The First EVER Mountain Bike In Europe - 1976 KLUNKER / MTB
Here it is, we are so excited to show you one of the first original Klunker mountain bikes in existence and possibly the first-ever mountain bike to be exported from America! It’s so good to see how road bike, motorbike and BMX technologies all merged into one to help develop the prototypes that lead to the creation of the early mountain bikes.
If you haven’t seen it yet, check out The History Of Mountain Biking over on@gmbn -
We would like to say a huge thanks to Jay Hardy for letting us show this amazing bike, Richard Grant for bringing it to the UK all those years ago and of course Charlie Kelly and Gary Fisher for being the godfathers of downhill mountain bike racing!
