Hutch - The Anti Pro Star

(1/13) > >>

Bigplinky:
For me the bike of 83 / early 84 was the Black Hutch Pro Racer (I had a chrome one in 84 but gave it back to my sponsor for a new bike at the end of 84). Got this one back in 92 when I got back into BMX for the 2nd time as I still remembered the Hutch I had in 84 as one of the best bikes I'd rode. This then got used on trails and mini ramps for about 6 months till I realised I was gonna fook it if I kept riding the way I was so got something a bit stronger and retired this. I've been collecting parts for this build for about 5 years (probably had most of them for 4 years) but I've been dragging my heels getting the f&f painted, well that changed after Christmas when I sent it to SBD and man what a job he did I've never seen black like it  :4_17_5:. The idea was to use as many original finishes as possible and also base the bike around what I remember of bikes in 1984. Hope you like it (gonna get some better pics for BOTM when the sun shines  ::))
