B-42 a.k.a. the Klunk Lobster

Bought this Rock Lobster SS 26er for my forty second birthday, and right around the time that we went to go see the B-52s at the Mosswood Meltdown, so l’ve dubbed it the B-42. Rock Lobsters were/are ubiquitous in the Bay Area cross racing/MTB scenes, and I’d always wanted an SS specifically after watching Scotty Chapin getting rad on his at local and national races a decade ago.

I threw on some NorCal/MUSA goodies from the collection, as well as a few new bits. Snagged some pics before the first ride today, and came home smiling ear to ear! I wasn’t prepared for the way ripping coaster skids would transport me back to my youth!

Now I’m impatiently waiting for this rain to die out and things dry up a bit, so I can go put it through its paces at the birthplace of klunking, Repack on Mt Tam!
