I've found a used heckler frame (1999) for about $250.
Is this a good deal? I've been trying to save up for a new (to me at least) FS bike as I want to make the switch from my Raleigh M50.
This definitely fits into my price range for a frame (including Fox RL shock).
But, should I consider saving a bit more and finding a newer (like 2001+) frame?
What are the differences between the 1999 frame and the newer ones? I thought that the tubing sizes might be different.
I'm a big guy 6"3, 250 lbs. So, fame strength is a concern for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!
