sick looking bike mate if u use it for freeride or DH i wud get forks with more travel

zaptheman replied... on 8 April 2011

I considered getting a Domain or a Lyrik. But that would be more suited for the newer Heckler design that has 10mm more travel. The 150mm of the Z1 is spot on. :D

you must like red?! Got to be a 10 for the frame alone, i love mine!

zaptheman replied... on 8 April 2011

The red was only conicidental. I was building up my old black '09 Haro Shift with red accents when a friend offered me this Heckler, barely used (considering it's more than 5 years old) and freshly powdercoated red. When I moved over the components, it fit like a glove! Considerable changes from that time, but I can't dream of parting with this frame. It takes everything I throw at it.
