Another favourite one just finished; The Santa Cruz Heckler Mk1 was the FS to have in the nineties, but for some reasons, until this 2025 I could not get my hands on one; this particular frame is a 1996 first series (I think so because the CNC´d dropouts) and I should service the Fox shock and get a correct spring accordingly to my weight but aside that, it´s ready to get dirty; maybe a Thomson combo should be the next update ...
