ok, i work for evans so i can get the stinky for about £650, the iron horse for about £700 and the Mongoose for about £500 and im not sure which one to get for some light freeride and downhill action! the stinkys both have good spec and i know they are good bikes but im a bit bored of Kona after having a Scrap for like 4 years plus i think the paint jobs are gross! The Mongoose has horrid RST forks for some reason but apart from that, really good spec! the iron horse yakuza ojiki is the best bet as far as i can see but advice would be great! thanks!

    Some good prices for a LOT of bike!

    I'd say the 2007 stinky for the hardest action. You managed to sit on any, at least just for the right size?

    I hear good things about that RST.

    Really?! i know, i know the RST's might be excellent but the boys at my MTB club at uni would rip me lol what do you think about the Iron Horse? it looks sweet! i might just settle for the kona though

    If money's an issue then the mongoose will be fine, ignore the snobs.
    If not then the 08 kona with the 66's looks the best to me.

    I've got an 07 stinky and I really like it. It is a bit on the heavy side though.

    The other thing is that the stock springs that come on the rear shock tend to be a bit on the hevay (stiff) side for slimmer built people so you may wanna get onto Mojo suspension to get one that's rated for you.
