Hi,

Im going to buy a new bike, a Stinky dee-lux 2005, and im not decided about the size, M(15.5) or L(16). This year stinky frames have new geometry, and i dont know anyone with the new stinky, so im asking you guys who have stinkys 2005, what do u think about the bike, and how big u are, and which frame size do you ride. Im 6`0, 175lbs. I pretend to go more down than up.
Sorry about the poor english.

thanks
Michael

Top tube length is what you should be thinking of for fit. Do you know what length TT feels comfortable to you? What length TT is on the bike you have now?

Do you like a stretched out bike or a compact bike?

yeah i had an 02 medium stinky and it was perfect for me at 5'10 so i would go with the large.
the bike felt great. i could do everything on that bike...DH,dj,urban
all my friends said if felt like a bmx bike to them...(they were all taller)

Hi Zark,
This will be my first full suspension mtb, so i dont know well what is the best for me. I think the L size, will be better, but im really not shure.

I'm 6`1 and 180lbs.
I had a 17" Stinky, it was called 'medium' in 2002.
The 15.5 is probably a little too small, unless you use it for dirtjumping and street only.
The 2005 Large is more like my bike, it's still 'small' and very easy to throw around.
The only downside is that the smaller frame is less stable at high speeds than a larger frame and it can get a little nervous in fast corners.
The Stinky is not a full DH bike, but it's pretty good for more steep-twisty-technical DH.

Thanks to all, today i tryed the stinky M(15.5) size, it felt a little bit small. In the shop there wasnt a L, and there arent other shops with stinkys here. I dont know yet. Need more information from stinky owners and others.

My shop got an 05 med.(15.5)Stinky in I tried it out . I am 5'10 and this bike was really small. Consider the 16 inch.
