  • how big is the Gemini?

    The Stinky is a BIG bike. I have the '03 and although I have on occasion ridden trails on it, I really wouldn't consider it for anything other than uplift DH/FR stuff. Its bloody good fun for that though

    sorry I can't help with a comparison, I've owned 2 cannondales and liked them both. They were XC HTs though.

    .....does the 05 stinky include the floating brake thing? If so then that is a good thing. Brake jack in the older stinkies (pre the floating adapter thing) is pretty bad. I have considered getting an aftermarket one from the dudes that make it in the states having tried one but it's a bit of a pricey addition to a 6 year old frame tbh
    Everything in moderation ... except beer
    Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day
