    Kona Stinky 2005 frame sizing vs. Me at 6ft 2"

    Hi guys - any thoughts... I am looking to buy a second hand 2005 Kona Stinky with a Med frame size. I thought it would go Small, Med, Large. Apparently not - the size range in 2005 was Small, Med, Large, XL, XXL. My concern is I'm 6' 2" (188cm) and fairly long in the leg, and can't test...
