    Why why why did you have to post that. I want a DH bike and that one is my size and about 4 miles from my house. (goes to smash the kids piggy banks :x )

    Forget the kids piggies, down the back of the sofa is where the serious money is at!

    You should look on ebay and at the completed listings , newer models better condition going for a lot less money than that

    I did check completed listings. Trouble is finding a small one. Been offered one for £550 but its a 06/07 model and too big.

    Two of my mates have 2nd hand stinky's about that price range and they love them, they are both riding better and until they can get something more expensive (and no doubt lighter) they will keep thrashing the seemingly bombproof stinky's! Get one!

    As an 09, value is VERY dependant on condition, from the photo's that one on PB looks in pretty good condition for a DH and comes with 2 different shocks, I wouldn't rule it out!
