On another note if anyone has a v1 HT small CC that they want sell let me know as I always want another one.

I'm still riding my '18 5010 v3, but I don't consider it old. Old is my '06 Stumpy FS that my buddy still rides.

I got my 2018 Hightower LT in the fall of 2022. It's head angle is steep and it's seat angle is slack compared to the latest models, but it works for me and imo is still a top tier ass kicking piece of kit. Yup.

Post up your "older" Santa Cruz bikes that are still in regular use. (and by older, well, you can decide what that means).

Slack seat tube angle was the main issue of HT1 + HTLT frame. It was really bad for me to ride uphill and that's why I sold it and bought Nicolai G13.

‘12 or ‘14 Heckler.

A few years younger Chameleon assembled from parts some from the Heckler above.

2005 Heckler. Sold it but it is still ridden regularly. Upgraded many times over the years. 1 x 11 and new XT brakes right before it was sold. Only thing original on it was the Carbon Monkey bars. I had it built with all the parts I specced. Thought it was my forever bike and it almost was. Rode it for over 16 years.

Was my backup bike when I picked up my Mach 5.5. Now the 5.5 is the backup....

Nice heckler. Great bikes. My 05 gets ridden by my son.

Yeah, I got my miles out of it for sure. It was like night and day riding new suspension geometry when I retired it for my use. My son did ride it a bit with me too, but mountain biking never took off for him. He's only 21 so there is still hope though!

Hecklers FTW. My Heckler 6.1 is no longer "still getting after it" but it was super awesome so here's a pic of that badass machine:

My buddy had one like yours, no coil though. He sold it to another friend of ours that occasionally gets out and rides with us. They were a fun bike in the day, just sucked pedaling uphill on techy stuff.

2010ish Butcher. It's the SO's bike now and rarely get's ridden.

I have a Nickel frame I need to get rid of.

Still ride my old 98 Heckler quite a bit at local trails. It is pretty light and easy to look after. Just love to ride it. A newer generation rear shock helps too.

 

[Mr Crudley]

I built up a small Nickel a few years ago for Mrs. All she will ever need for a trail ride.

Got it dirty today.
