I'm looking at buying one of the above bikes, in your opinions what would be the choice. I'm 5'6" weight 72kg and don't drop big yet, and consider myself to be pretty smooth. Thanks guys.

Id go the six too...it looks shit hot and has got the spec to go with it. And as i kno this the absolute top of the list of prioritys *insert sarcasm here*, its a dark colour, and you wont notice all the mud and crap on it, making it look the goods al the time. Atomic has the same aspects.

mm I'm sort of leaning towards the six at the moment, and the better standover is a benefit for a guy with short legs.

I was considering this a while ago and I wasn't far off buying the Six.
I've only ridden the '04 Stinky so I can't really make a comparison between those 3 bikes, except for the parts spec of course.

I'm now thinking the Atomik maybe, as I have quite a few partsI would swap over straight away from another bike. Life would be easier if you could buy frames only, or can you?

Test riding them is the only way.
Bike addiction has test ride days I believe, in realistic conditions too.

Kona quality is delish. Can't go wrong, but don't rule out the coiler either, I ride one and can't fault it. My best mate has the stinky and he loves it too. The coiler is heaps easier to push uphill if need be and is heaps lighter to boot. Its suits my riding better and its sounds like it might be yours too. I would go the coiler or the six for comparison or the stinky or atomic. Lighter and more rounded versus heavier and more big dropable. I tossed up all for four and finished with the coiler, but only my opinion.
Cheers :wink:

the atomik comes with 7" front and rear dosnt it? good for when u start doing bigger drops and u get the knowing of the controls(if u dont knwo them alredy that is) but if i had a chice id go with the atomik then the stinky.
