yea i saw that, what do you think in terms of quality of parts
it is a pretty decent build up. the only thing i would change is the headset because i have herd the fsa pigs have problems with there bearing. the pig pro has sealed bearings. i would say for the price go for it. if you bought the parts indvidual (sp) i would cost you a lot more. you might want to look a some of go-rides build kits too. i dont remomber the pricing though.

The Go-ride build kits are kinda expensive. Do you think the 05 stinky is a better deal because i can only get a hardtail with the build kit?
the 05 stinkys are supose to be a badass frame. i dont have any expenance on one but hell its a stinky. i wouldnt put that build kit on a hardtail. what are you ride right now. i think i would go with the stinky. are you looking at getting the whole bike or just the frame? what is you budget
i have a Ironhorse warrior comp, and am getting into freeride. im looking for a buildkit and frame or complete bike.
well wheelworld right now has a complete kona stinky dee-lux for 1800 right now and that is pretty much built with the build kit at world wheels. it a pretty damn good deal. you might want to also check out pink bikes classifieds to see if you can find any good deals on there.
Hey thanks, i can get a 05 stinky at Campmor for $1449 though.
yeah that is a pretty good deal but the dee-lux has 1 inch more of travel front and rear and better compnents. im not saying the stinky is bad it is a great begginer bike

i thought the deelux had 7'' front and rear as well as the stinky, il probaly get the stinky though and upgrade as i break parts because cash is tight for a 14 year old

nope the stinky is running 6 and 6. yeah that is problaby the best thing to do. how did you come up with 1500 bucks being only 14. i am 21 and i wish i had that much money. yeah but good luck with the stinky i dont think you will be disapointed with it. check out some of the reveiws here and see what people are saying about them. i know they got good reveiws :D
