bomber vs Klunker?

[blackdiamond]

This Q has most likely been answered alot, and I will sound dumb for asking
But what is the difference between a bomber and a Klunker?

Good question I don't quiet understand the classifications myself.

from Cycling Magazines 1979 issue... :roll:

The machines are referred to as Clunkers, Bombers or Cruisers, depending on the owner's local affiliation,

Way back in the olden days, when TV's ran off antennas :mrgreen: , both terms meant pretty much the same thing, clunker being a little less affectionate. Klunker with a K is a proper name given by some guys in California to their early mountain bikes custom built on heavy/middleweight (clunker) frames.
