I still have one of these from '02 or '03. IT was one of the last that shared the appearance of the Superlighjt before they made the Heckler a little burlier
Mine still puts in work occasionally as a backup bike. I dont know how much it is worth, but the bike is still a capable machine if the maintenance is current on it. The last time i rode it was on a pretty easy trail (but still one that rewarded a dual suspension bike) , but it still brought the smiles. .
WAs seriously contemplating stripping it and having it powder coated in a color my girlfriend would like and making her a Juliana equivalent out of it. She is not crazy interested in the sport but would love to have a bike for occasional weekend forays ---- but -- if its still a bike that is serious enough that it definitely wont hold back a beginner or novice from discoverng and enjoying the sport
