Get some decals done in the "old english" gothic style like back when marzocchi looked cool.

I am needing a chain devise and they are around £100. so this could work out cheaper. would my van r shock fit this?. would you do a swap? and some cash. Really I am not sure yet I will have to talk it over with my dad first. cheers jonny

Monty picked a E13 drs for £40. Keep an eye out on eBay!
Your shock won't fit, there's a fox vanilla rc. IMO better that the shock you have.

Isn't as much travel as your stinky, but for all the size of you, you don't need it!

Theres a guy who parks outside the Outlook in Rathfriland with a blue skinky with boxxer race's on the roof some days, looks well. Anyone from the forum? Thule roof rack, green corolla I think.

Well from a stinky to a patriot, I wouldn't notice that much of a change.

No.! the point of this is that i need a chain devise and lindsays has it on the patriot and it works out cheaper because i need a BB aswell and a headset. I just think I am going to keep the stinky I love it. It probley rides just as good as the patriot. After cavehill today I have decided that.....I will keep it bacause I am a true kona fan...lol:D

You obviously don't have all that much experience with bikes.
Do you know what a patriot is?

There a big difference between a stinky and a patriot.

IMO a patriot would be a far better bike for a wee lad like Jonny and sure others would agree with me.

Too late any way Jonny, the frames gone!!

No problems Lindsay. I was seriously considering it, I had my dad nearly there with the deal. I am going to save up and get something when i have destroyed the stinky. lol. See you on tuesday mate all being well.

Yes i know what a patriot is, it is an all mountain bike which can be used for dh, i just don't see how it can be better than a stinky.

Yeah, Cameron Conforth won Rostrevor NPS by 18 secs on a AM bike. The 7+ version is basically a smaller DH bike for U 14/16's or someone moving up from a hardtail. It's essentially a smaller 222.
