AM So Stinky 2008

[tkdbboy]

Came a across a frame, fork and shock for sale ad late last year which conveniently were the parts I needed to make a complete bike from my spare parts.

A few weekends later, she's been stripped, cleaned, bearings replaced, forks & brakes rebuilt and now she's good to ride.

Frame - 2008 Kona Stinky (no D.O.P.E)

Rear shock - FOX DHX RC4 Ti Coil with offset bushings

Front shock/fork - Rockshox Totem Coil 180mm

Handlebars - Merida 800mm

Stem - Some Merida one 40mm

Headset - VP Components

Grips - RaceFace Nelson

Saddle - Some fat old one I had lying around

Brakes - Avid Elixir R 203/180 rotors

Cranks - Truvativ GXP Firex 175mm - Thanks @Snockers

Chainring - 36t

Chain - Shimano HG93

Pedals - Wellgo MG1

Rear derailleur - SRAM X9

Rear shifter - SRAM X7

Cassette - Shimano HG61, 11-34t

Hubs - Specialized Hi Lo disc

Rims - DT Swiss E440S

Front Tyre - Specialized Clutch Control 2.3

Rear Tyre - Specialized Purgatory Control 2.2

Total weight - haha ... doesn't feel as heavy as I thought

Things to do:

• Sus out replacement fork decals as they look quite work but from a distance looks like mad camo so I can live with that for now.
• Rebuild the shock ... looks nowhere as simple compared to the fork.

Thanks to @link1896 for the detailed guide on his build

Should be fun!

Looks good, I should finish mine and join you for some old school freeride fun.

Picked up a monarch plus for mine, but to get her going just need to drill and tap front brake calliper adapter and bleed the front guide brakes.

Looks sweet with the totem, been riding it much

Yeah gave it a boot at Lysty and Youies ... coil feels great, especially on jumps. Feels very solid overall.

Since then I have also swapped the shock to a Fox RC4, removed the floodgate on the Totem and drilled the cable stops out of the routing
