Here it is...my late winter/early spring project is complete. I had been debating about getting a new bike, but decided that I liked my Heckler too much to give it up yet. A little "refreshing" and it's as good as new. Original color was black powder. Used Mothers to re-brighten the swingarm. Pics aren't the best, but you get the idea...

Frame: Med '02 Heckler, "Aqua", 5th Element 2" stroke
Fork: '05 Fox Vanilla RLC
HS: King
Stem/Post: Thomson
Bars: OS Answer Carbon ProTapers
Grips: Juegos de Fuego Lock Ons
Saddle: WTB SST2K
Shifters: X.9 triggers (Thanks, Stosh)
Rear Der.: X.9 short cage (Thanks, Stosh)
Front Der: XT
Crank/BB: XT, 22t, 32t, Salsa "trials" bash guard
Chain: PC-991
Cogs: XT750 12-34
Pedals: Candy SL
Brakes: Hope Mono M4 180mm front, Mono Mini 160mm rear
Wheels: King, CX-Ray, Mavic x3.1, Salsa QRs
Tires: Maxxis Ignitor UST, 2.35 front, 2.1 rear

Sorry I didn't include any woks, spare microwaves, fire extinguishers, or rootbeer colored bikes in the background. You'll have to do with my pitiful excuse for landscaping and yard upkeep instead.

I am sometimes wishing that i had a heckler instead of a bullit now. They are real nice... I like what you've done with it.

You already had one, but you sold it. Sure it said Haro, but it was a heckler with an integrated headset.

What's the deal with the birdbath?

Nice heckler.

Haha! Nice. There used to be a tree there, but it died and had to be cut down. The wife thought it would be "neat" to put a birdbath there. We're too cheap to have someone come out and grind the stump down...

Thanks!

I cut down 2 trees last night. I don't have a birdbath though.
