RockCoach Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 Here's mine: http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb10985511/p4pb10985511.jpg It's a 2004 Kona Stinky with a full custom set up.I have 2 reasons why I chose the frame. First of all because I started riding bikes in 2004, and this exact frame was my dream bike back then. Being 13 it was only a bike I could dream of and no way I could afford it. So it's an old child's dream I had come true 10 years later. Also the 2004 model is the last model of the Stinkies that had 150mm suspension. All the newer models have more. 150mm is more then enough for me. Especially since I was used to riding hardtails with rigid forks. A short spec list:Forks: Rock Shox Sektor RL 110-150 Shock: Fox Vanilla R 150mmCranks: XTChainring: Blackspire narrow-wideShifter, Derailleur, Chain, cassette: XTRBrakes: Shimano SLX (currently 160mm front, 140mm rear)Needs new tyres..Around 14.5kgNice old school Please post a photo with the Sektor in 150mm mode to make it more #Enduro.
Flowta Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Technically I got it at cost, as it is a demo bike we are building up. Ok, any idea of the standard retail cost?

(Deon) Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 it was supposedly shot in Chile if I'm not mistaken?Wonder if it was one of Gary P's edits? I know he sold his Bronson on the trail there recently, just don't know if he was there riding or "working"..

BaltazarMarques Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Picked her up from Tool-Up yesterday Rocky Mountain Slayer 70 Waiting on all the build bits from various sources - Should hopefully have everything by end of next week and ready in time to trial her out at the Hakahana Enduro. Only things I'm using from my current components is Reverb, Stem, Crank and wheelset (Although decided to rebuild with Hope Pro 2 Evo's as had to upgrade the rear to 12x142 from QR) - Everything else new and especially for this build.
CubeD Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Very nice dude!!My tank is ready for Hakahana too http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/RedLadder/DSC_7375.jpg
