wow! nice how cheap is cheap though?? lol you'd be lucky just to get those wheels for about £400 round here - second hand as well (thats about 712 canadian dollars)
NICE! Thats about £1800 i think! That is actually insane! lol i love the v10 but i must admit i do love my new kona frame (soz to kona haters - but it looks so good and it really isn't all that bad/heavy and it doesn't have a flexing rear like kona haters claim).. if i had a buget as large as yours i would probably have got a trek session 77 or something (the 88 DH is my actual IDEAL bike!!) but hey ho... my stinky deluxe will probably end up costing me around £750 - £800 which is pretty good since it will have my sun s-type rims on gold pro 2 hubs and some boxxers and juicys so yeah... i hope it will be good
That's a great deal aswell. I don't know why there are so many Kona haters anyways. A few of my friends ride Stinkys and I don't think their any waorse than the next company. It's all about how the bike rides and the Stinkys have a different feel to them, which isn't a bad thing.
yeah i know! lol i guess its the same with everything (i think its just people can't accept that you can get pretty good bikes for reasonable amounts of money! lol) i think, since i'm moving up from my xc/trail hardtail that it will most probably be a good enough bike for me, for now at least... if it isn't, i only paid £265 for the frame - about 470 canadian - which is half what its worth, so i could sell it and get a different frame, otherwise using the same components: so far i have bought good components that will last, in case i do want to start doing 12 foot drops (i don't think the singletracks that come as standard on stinkys would stand up to that!)
hey rolto i ride a session 77. its sick i like them cuz they pedal soooooo well. if you ever break your stinky witch i highly doubt you'll do keep in mind that trek knows how its done, not to say kona doesn't lol.
