I’ve snapped one of the old 98 Hecklers and in the last year I snapped my Isis main triangle and now the swingarm sheared across the chainstay weld(This is not unusual I’m told) so I’m now on my last two bits of Ellsworth a Joker front / Isis rear. I’m figuring after 10 years use it’s an idea to buy a new frame. Not in a hurry as I have a working (if slightly worrying) bike.
I figure that pound for pound the Orange has to be the best bet it certainly looks pretty sturdy, will take a look at a Gemini / Prophet think I’d rather have a new frame on refection though at least I know where it’s been..
