Default New Heckler?

I know there are some Heckler riders out there.

This is getting some discussion going over on mtbr. Quite possibly the new redesigned Heckler. Looks like a mini new Bullitt.

This could very well be the reason why it is nearly impossible to get a Heckler from SC right now. All XL's are gone....L's in limited quantites in 2 colors.....Med has a few more.....S's quite a few.

i'm with ross on this one. i'm not feeling the curvy flow of this frame, especially the linkage where the chain and seat stays meet.

i mean dont get me wrong i like the new V10's for wut they are. but that ball hump on the top tube is KILLER. and not in a good way. the only things i like on my bike rounded are my wheels,cranks,and rotors

Yeah, these bikes are hit or miss with most people. I personally dig the new look. Then again, I like the Nomad, too.

I think that there's some functional purpose to the downtube's curve at the headtube junction... seems useful for fork crown knob clearance.

But the rest of it's just there to be swoopy and pretty. I like.

Agree with Sheckmiester here. Not saying the bike ain't a good bike, just looks like a beach cruiser on steriods (Nomad) to me. This Hecler looks a little more traditional, and I d like to hear what the riders have to say about it.
