    Just so you know the Stinky 2-4 is a kids bike. 2-4 refers to wheel size.

    Are you looking at the '08 bikes as the stinky deluxe is so sweet it don't need no sugar fool :!:

    I personally would say the stinky as I tend to get off my bike basically at the bottom of a hill and push and am not at all interested in attempting the ride back up just so I have more energy for the blast back down.

    If you are, then it'll probably have to be the coiler realistically. However, it can be done on a stinky-just not as elegantly I'll leave it at that.

    Do what you fear, you won\'t regret it.

    You are only as brave as your skill level.

    1) Why Kona?

    2) If you actually have an unlimited budget, which it appears you do, why don't you get a decent bike... like a Transition Bottlerocket?

    imo the ultimate freeride bike is the versus trigger or blitz 2 , needle roller pivot bearings and huge drop outs, but its surprisingly light. I run mine with two chain rings and can ride it uphill as well.trigger.jpg[/img]
