Finished Kona Stinky 2002.

[Kona-Ian]

Boy got this frame on ebay and we been building it up over holiday time.

He got some Formula RX hydraulic disc brakes for good price.
The Bombers were awesome too
Still using some of his old parts from his frame we stripped to build this one.
He will save up and improve it.
Could do with a bleed and so could mine so we'll get a kit.

Re:

Gotta love a stinky always liked looking at them in the lbs and I'm a big kona fan anyway. Not seen this colour scheme before though!

Nice that it has the beefed up chainstays. Should be a great bike, enjoy

 

[Kona-Ian]

Thanks Kyle and Barnet, first proper test is today at Hadleigh Farm.
His first upgrade will be bigger discs.

Looking good Ian. A friend of mine had this exact frame back in the day. He used to break everything but he never managed to break that frame! I've you ever want to sell those forks message me!

 

[Kona-Ian]

Alright konacollector.
They are meant to be pretty strong
Will let you know if he changes the forks.
Not sure what they are worth.

Need to know how hard it is to find another frame shock.
Will various ones fit?

 

[Kona-Ian]

Small update, been hammering it and it's still going well

 

[EarlofBarnet]

Excellent, it's what it deserves. Did you sort a new shock? Should be easy to find one the same length and stroke. Bet it would make a fair bit of difference to get something more modern on it.

 

[Kona-Ian]

Well Earl, the old shocks still going ok but will need one sometime.
It's on the to do list.
