A few pics of my new Heckler (finished at last!).
Many thanks to Graham of Slam69 for fitting the forks/headset.

I got mine in the summer - all black except for white Fox forks. First ride was Mountain Mayhem where it felt like noone could catch me on the downs! Awesome bike. Cant wait to take it to the Alps this summer if I can.

Thanks fozlett, it's a large frame. I'm 5'9" and it feels just right.
Standover height is a bit comfy though.

Cheers Darren.

Think that's the size for me too - does seem to be the norm with Santa Cruz to go up a size to what you would usually ride.

Think you're gonna have fun!! 🙂

Timc, about £2,600 roughly (cough!)
mostly funded from ebay and selling my rockhopper (towards the forks!)
Still needs a nice pair of dmr vaults though. 😀

Tim, the Lbs did me a good deal on the price of the frame and forks.
They also fitted the headset and forks for me, couldn't afford to be buying all that kit as well!
I bought the parts when I'd saved each amount of Money up.
Had to be very patient!

The green is cool, but I'm liking Itheisinger's black one too.
