Sizing: How would a medium fit someone who would normally ride a 19" XC bike? I'm just under 6'1 and don't really care for oversized bikes, but don't want to be uncomfortable.

And what is a good price for an '05 Stinky? Are they worth buying under a grand?

To add a couple more Q's:

The trails around here are extremely technical, rocky and 2-4' drops. Would the Kona be happy doing that type of riding?

Would a Big Hit ('04 frame w/ Manitou Sherman Triple Clamp & Manitou 4WAY Swinger) be a better buy?

Thanks

I use to have a 05 stinky deelux in a medium and I'm 6ft so I think the bike would fit you good. They are an all around great bike.

I ran across another Stinky Dee Lux (16"). The stock fork was changed out for a Fox 36. It supposedly an '06 model. Does the 'upgraded' fork make the bike worth a grand?

Judging by the picture and comparison, it looks like it might be an '05...?
