SOLD bargain of the day :wink:


Traded this in px for a wheelset a few weeks back as a Summer project, but as I have got another Rocky coming, decided to part with it.

It's a 97 Heckler, 20.5 ctc top tube and 17.5 centre to top seat tube.
All threads are good and bushes and bearings too.
It had a sheared rear arm brace bolt when I got it, (Sheared flush and seized in) but this has been successfully removed now and all 4 bolts are inserted and tighten fine.

At some point it's been poorly sprayed black and I was told it had been bare metal stripped prior to this.
My plan for it was to strip and polish it, however I noticed when removing the chainstay protector a bit of the gash black paint came off with it, to reveal the Turquoise Anodising underneath, so I took a stanley blade and carefully scraped some of the very soft Black off to reveal the patch pictured.
I remember this colour Ano well, with Red Ano bolts and Graphics

Front triangle was stripped by previous owner, but not bead blasted. should make an interesting project.

Otherwise the frame looks in very good order, shock is a Rock Shox Deluxe and prob needs a service, but these are easy to do. I remember these frames were £1100 or more BITD.
Looking for £100 plus post anyone?

Hi. I can swear to the fact that it is not ano but paint on the rear triangle. I nitromorsed the front and it was so much effort because the paint was so thick and not coming off easily that I asked the bloke who sprayed it to dip the rear and he said he had done it.
