'97 Santa Cruz Heckler - m*dern build *Updated*

[Pickle]

Back on topic. Haribo, really nice work with the blue-black & silver theme and I like the retrobike decal too. So how about some bling blue Hope details e.g. the caps in the calipers?

Cheers. Not sure about any more blue bits really, at least for the moment. Toyed with the idea of blue ano Hope bits (QR, seat clamp, stack spacers etc) but thought I'd go with understated black. I did see some really nice blue Yeti ODI lock-ons that matched the frame/tyres though. Going to do my best to stop messing with it now and just ride it! Although a Thomson post and stem would be nice...:roll:

I have decided to put the brakes on the red on my RTS, in fact I'm toning it down a bit by removing 1 or 2 bits. So, I agree that you should stop messing and start riding!

RB sticker is a good finishing touch....I've got 1 on my SPIN and a small one at the bottom of the downtube on the LTS

still going strong - in her latest guise. less travel up front, different cranks and rear mech, think that's about it. all ready for the summer...

of my two bikes the seat goes lower on the heckler, so looks like the missus gets a nice ride when we both go out :evil:

Love it! How much travel do those forks have?

 

[haribo]

Well ta very much.

Just put these forks on it today (bought s/h) - they're Fox F100RL with 100mm. I think that's around what it has at the rear. I was running some RS Revelations (130mm) before these and was never really happy with the that much travel up front, set them up with quite a lot of sag. Climbing was pretty tough, 100mm seems to suit it much better...
