firstly just check the sizes on the marin and kona website but it SHOULD all fit just make sure to check things like rear axle and head tube.
and as for frames the 08 and 09 are the newer ones and are the best, 07 is just the same as 06 and aint that good so i would probably recommend the 08 but then again there is better than a stinky.

I would not say they are rubbish... Just relatively unchanged and simple.
They are essentially a single pivot with a rocker to actuate the rear shock. Dont get the "07 Stinky" the rocker arm was under manafactured and has been known to fail.
Not overly progressive either...
Have a look at the following frames... That is a good range...

Transition Bottle-Rocket 5.5in
Devinci Frantick 6.6in
Giant Reign 6.7in
Spec Demo 7 7in
Commencal Mini DH 6.4in

agreed, unchanged and simple is accurate...

on that though, who wants to pay 2009 prices for pre-millenium technology??

not me...

rocky mountain is equally guilty, as is norco
