As above, I can offer SOME money or swaps, I'd really like something like the Heckler I bought.

Maybe a HT frame interested too, but ideally FS. Good for Magura or disc.

The rear ends are ally on the 856. Not sure which model is it. Middle of the range I guess, under 956?

I'll take some detailed pics in the morning and check all the bearings, I have £120 posted in mind.

It could really do with painting or polishing as there is some oxidising under the clear coat, there is also a small ding on the down tube... but its never caused me any concern.

Here's a link to some pics of it built up :~

Tah mate! She liked the Heckler but I've had warnings on here about the TT weld.. Though I got a friend who's a aircraft welder too check it out and he says it's upto it.
