Kona Stinky

This is a 15" Kona Stinky; it would make a great beginner FR/DH bike for anyone smaller than about 5'7".  Yes, it's not much to look at -- and it has a few flaws -- but it's hard to beat the price.

Here's the stock spec's: http://bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?year=2005&brand=Kona&model=Stinky

The good: It's a tank; you can't break it.  The frame alone will sell for $300, so getting a complete bike for a few more isn't a big deal.

The bad: The front fork is in need of replacement soon -- it has a hole in the bottom of the lower.  It functions as a fork, but that's about it.  Also, the rear brake could use a bleed.

The ugly: the paint job is hideous.  There you have it.

The spec's:

- 15" Kona Stinky aluminum frameset
- Manitou Swinger 4-Way SPV rear shock
- 2009 Marzocchi 66 RCV front fork
- Formula / Alex disc wheelset
- Shimano LX rear derailleur
- Shimano 8-speed shifter
- Avid Elixir 1 hydraulic disc brakes
- Shimano crankset
- Flat pedals included

SOLD.
