is the santa cruz heckler good? it doesnt seem like it would be as shock absorbent because its just a single-pivot bike compared to a four-bar suspension

I think you ought to go with your Elllsworth idea - - I've heard that Tony is a master craftsman and one of the most honest, upstanding guys in the biz.

Still kicking.
You mean Giant with it's DW Link ripoff suspension? 
What's the price range?
If the sky is the limit, then you have alot of choices.

Trance is a more aggressive 5 inch travel trail bike. Right. I always confuse trail and AM.

For a brainstormer OP doesn't provide much input...
Is the Heckler a good bike? No, I hate all of mine, but I'll just suffer and keep riding them, what with their "poor" single pivot suspension and all...
