Santa Cruz Heckler

[Old Anonym]

So, anyone know if a Santa Cruz heckler is good for Freeride? it would have a Fox 36RC2 fork, i'm thinking of buying a new frame as soon as i finish my school, so anyone know if it's any good?

[Siento]

hmmm for freeride i would more take the bullit!
depends on what stuff u wanna do with it

[Old Anonym]

hm... how about a Foes Inferno? is it good for freeride? they have a freeride model called "the fly" but i don't like the looks and looks do matter...

[Siento]

yeah sure the inferno is a great bike!!!

check out www.go-ride.com there are all foes models
is it ur first freeride bike? have u had any experiences before?

u can go to www.specialized.com too n check out the big hit or demo 8

I'm checkin out frame only's , yes it is my first freeride bike, right now i have a XC bike, but seeing at it has to break sometime i'm gonna buy a freeride bike then, currently i got complete LX except for rer der. an E13 104 4 bolt bashguard for 3 chainrings, azonic extension pedals and more good stuff, so i think that it's best to buy a freeride frame when i break my current frame..

oh yeah btw, if i were to buy a Foes Inferno, would i be able to do some downhilling with it? max fork is 150mm but i guess i could put an Fox 36RC2 in it, and it has 7,5" REAR travel i mean that's a goddamn lot, so would downhillin be possible?

[Siento]

yeah with 7.5 inches travel it would be for dh too of course, plus the curnutt rear suspension is great!! u can might as well put in a sherman breakout too with 170mm i think, u can put it down on 130mm if u wanna go a lil up or somethin like that. foes makes great bikes n the frame looks very nice i would take it too just that i dont got the money n with floatin calipers its even more great

[Old Anonym]

I also don't have the money yet :P like i said, i'm gonna buy it when this frame breaks, as in that's when i'm gonna start saving money :P
But damn that big hit, 2200 for complete bike? what's the price for frame only? cause that's more like it, the Foes Frame only is 2000 O_O

[Old Anonym]

anyone know..how much...it costs...?

[Siento]

u cant buy the big hit as frame only nemore!! the last was 2003 big hit dh frame like i have n frame only costed 1500 € so if u wanna have a good frame kinda cheap then try n get a 2003 big hit dh frame used...u would prolly get it for bout 800 € or somethin or mail me when u broke urs cause im planin to sell mine anyways one day sooner or later :P yahoo_360@hotmail.com

[Old Anonym]

Which frame do you have?
And on the site it says that it is available as frame only well anywayz, does a 130mm fork fit in a Big Hit 2005 frame? cause that's the fork i'm gonna have and later if it fits i'm gonna buy a Fox 36RC2, most other forks are just goddamn expensive...
help me! =P
or if you know any other frame, around 1000€ that i can buy, which can have a 130/150mm fork tell me!

[Old Anonym]

mine is 2003 big hit dh.

a friends of mine sells a santa cruz bullit size M from 2003 for 800 €

i would more put 150mm in it otherwise u might not feel so comfortable on it :S

[Siento]

sorry was me wasnt logged in :P

[Old Anonym]

Yeah but i'm like gonna put 150 in it first to start doing some freeride sh*t on it, then i'm gonna go higher, i don't weigh that much, around 51kg or something, but i'm gonna keep this frame for a long long time...
oh yeah btw, does the big hit frame take a minimum of 130mm travel? cause i'm gonna buy a fork with 130...it would be great if i didn't have to buy a new one right away..

[Siento]

umm nope 130mm is to less i think in the old red big hit comp ones its ok but in the 2003 big hit dh its to less cause it has 8.1 inches rear wheel travel!
