any suggestions will help a lot. im 5'11 205 pounds and would rather buy new ill be freeriding and want something that will pedal well enough to go on an ocassional trail ride.
kona is really nice but their almost 2 grand and i dont know of anywhere to get them. i can get an 04 big hit comp for 1700 and i was looking at the 05 bighit spec for 1100. any good?
spec is no good single pivot no good for rider of your size.kona has a wannabee dw link so i say no way and you can get a 7 point for under 2 very easily

The Spec sucks, it's heavy and generally a bad frame. The Bighit is a good bike though, a good pedaler, but it might be a little heavy for your needs. It's hard to take on trail rides.
The Iron Horse 7point3 might be in your range, or the Haro Extreme (which was mentioned above). And the Kona Coiler might be a better idea than the Stinky because it's lighter and more geared for trails.
awesome i need to try and get the money by then though i have to sell stuff and whatnot. would it be through the mailorder or would i have to og to the shop?

You may want to look at the Giant Faith series, the faith 3 in particular(its the least expensive). The suspension very is similar to the DW-Link 7point series. They pedal extreemly well for an 8in bike and have single crown forks for better turning radius. Super fun bike all around, and decent weight wise.
