I finally got my parents to buy my a bike after 5 months of trying. They said i could get a 06 stinky primo. I was so excited. We had the money and all we needed was for the bike shop to order it. Then the shop calls saying Kona only has a 15 inch frame of the primo. :eekster: :eekster: Why isnt there any of the 06 models left when the 07 models havent come out. I loved everything built on the primo, but now i cant get it. I know i could just wait and get an 07 but i dont want a pink bike. I dont know what to do.

Yeah, life's tough when your parents buy you a bike.
Hahaha!!! ^^

They run out occasionally. You need to have them put an order in for an "07", but it will be a while before it comes in.

Sorry they sold out. The Stinky Primos were really popular this year, and sold quickly.
We do have Stinky DLs in stock, and you could also consider something from the Coiler line.
Best of luck,
Joe.
When are the 07 models coming out in the US?
Here's a bone....

No promises but I'll check my local shop and see if the have what you're looking for. So what exactly is it? A Stinky Primo but what frame size? And I'll do this inspite of the fact that you're probably a spoiled brat that get's whatever you want. I should know I have 3 spoiled brats! :rolleyes:
Well im hoping to get a 16 inch stinky primo. And its not like my parents are paying for all of it. They would never do that. I have been saving for an extremely long time. Let me know if you can get it.
What ever happens im actually happy for your company Joe. Its good that you are selling your bikes even if i cant get my hands on one. Keep doing what you are doing, I hope to eventually get a Kona for myself.
Hold out for the 07 they look really nice, if the pink colour bothers you just get a spray job.
That pink color is phat! Go for it, pink is the new red...........:D
What do you think people are going to say?

"Gay, you got a pink bike"

or

"Sweet, you got a Stinky Primo"

I think it'll be the latter.

I really wish it was "sweet, you got a Stinky Primo" but most people around here have never heard of a Kona since most own wally world bikes. So it probably be "gay you got a pink bike" There would be some people around the city that would be impressed by it. We do have some insane bikers around here, but not many. Pink would be more hassle than sweetness.
You could allways buy a cheap 05 Stinky DL frame online, and have it build up by your LBS.

Sorry I just love my Stinky :D
THE '07 Stinky Primo ish so cool!!!! I love it... gonna get the frameset
... and sell my 06 stinky primo frame... Finally PINK!!!!!!! just to bad that it aint got the Mavic DeeMax wheelset.... anyways Alandrex... dude...just get the 07 one and respray it den... but check wit kona world to find the authorised respraying centre...
Here what they got....

I checked my local Kona dealer and the have a Stinky Delux in a 16". No Primos, they only special order them. Good news it's on sale for I think $2319. I wrote it down at work so I'm going from my poor memmory on the price. Let me varify the price tommorow and let me know if you're interested in a Delux. Personally I would have a little trouble riding a pink bike but that's just me. Kona doesn't Always stay with the colors shown early. They added the light blue Dawg Dee-Lux in 05 and I snagged one. It started out as only cream. Cream!!!?? That aint a color it's like a shade of something. Guess I wasn't the only one who thought it was just wrong.
Thanks a lot for checking Leoparddog. My LBS can get a stinky deluxe if i decide to go that route. I dont know what im gonna do yet.
I guess it all depends in his riding style......not on the color or the bike
The pink color may be "gay" or "ugly" , but it should serve one very important purpose, High visibility. At least the hunters won't shoot you. Unless they think your gay for riding a pink bike.:eek:

That truly does suck! I'd been patiently waiting for the prices to drop after the 07's came out.:madman:

Looks like option #2:

Gotta hand it to Kona....

Kona sure isn't afraid to take some marketing chances with colors. When every other company stays with the tried and true black (boooorrring) and Red (classic but tired) Kona comes up with some wild a$$ colors indeed. It's either you love em or hate em. The fact they change them year over year keeps it interesting too. I'm not a big pink guy but I got to admit, if you own a Pink Stinky you are NOT going to blend in with all the other wannabe's out there! Kona keep it wild! :thumbsup:
