    I'm thinking of treating myself to a new frame and swapping over the running gear from my Stiffee. Although it's the best bike I've ever had my spine needs a break….not a lot of give in the back end!!

    I quite fancy a superlight but at 15 stone am I better off going for a heckler?

    Opinions please.

    Yes.

    The superlight seems really twisty at the back end and i think you would be quite close to the upper weight limit for it ❗

    14 1/2 stone XL superlight rider here. Love it. Cant say I notice the back end twisting. I do wonder though if a Heckler would have been more versatile.

    I am the 15 stone Heckler rider! 😀 And it does everything for me – been to Les Gets and handles my bridle tracks here in Devon….so the Heckler gets my vote!

    I loved my Superlight but found it very flexy from the pivot backwards – at *only* 13st here! 🙂 My Anthem X is a whole lot stiffer.
