Or was it every make ,,, err that may be all of them :crazy2: ;D
Not till they 90's was there a bike truly suitable for BMX
You see more repaired Rippers than any other bike ,, but they were and still are ultra cool and don't have the "sheep like " cool to hate Hutch stigma.
Yes later built Hutch bits were built in Taiwan ,, but so was virtually every other by the late 80's
That's the way the whole bike industry went.
But to call the early stuff pre 85 is unfounded ,, because the actual manufacturers making Hutch were Thruster,Profile,Robinson,,all of which are highly respected.if you own any of the Pro racer framesets or bars you'll have a very high standard built item of that era. :)
Its nothing new ,, if someone gets a 911 , people say "ooooo he's having a midlife crisis ". ,when they'd love to have one in a heartbeat :D
Hutch was one of the ultimate sought after brands,,, undeniably. :coolsmiley:
That's not just my opinion it's
FACT :4_17_5:

Not all pre 85 Hutch were outsourced to Profile etc, they went in house circa 82 and Profile stopped making stuff for them, Thruster were used when Hutch couldn't meet the orders up to around late 84.
I'm not a Hutch hater I just don't accept they were the best BMX out there as the clever marketing hype suggested, it doesn't look like you think they were either as you quite rightly say they were one of the best which is right.
I honestly wouldn't love to have one in a heartbeat, well maybe a Profile made Hutch :whistle:
58 delray:
comes in three sizes, 20.5, 21, 21.5 inches

makes no sense. hutch isn't allowed to be hutch anymore, hence hutchinson. just put some hutch decals on your s&m or fit or fbm etc.. same thing no doubt better made too.

i dont get this, most bmx companys have been sold/bought out by other companys or people....whats the difference with it being hutch in this case, its not like they are anything special, they were were over priced and crap quality bitd, yes their stuff looked nice but thats about it. we had so much of their stuff come back to the shop broken back then that i actually tried to dissuade people from buying it.
just hope this new stuff is better quality no matter who its made by.

That's right , I ve said one of the best brands ,,, and the rest is not directed to you Rod and I wasn't trying to school you personally about Hutch production history :)
Just a general reply to the concensus of those who for some reason are Hutch haters ,,purely because they are in an inflated price bracket and because theyve seen someone else say"they're overpriced and broke a lot " so they repeat it
That doesn't mean you Andy , before you start :LolLolLolLol:
One of the biggest biycle scaremongering urban myths is you can't ride Campagnolo sheriff star hubs on anywhere but a velodrome , ::) because Sheldon Brown bicycle shop posted a thread of a shattered one apparently whilst riding on a road bike .
As a consequence every man and his dog now swears blind Sherriff star hubs are purely for track Kierin racing and will explode if they came within 500 metres of a leaf on the road .I bet 90% of those replying have n't owned a pair :D Which is bollocks because Last year I got the pair Winnie Wright used for thrashing round doing BMX nationals almost 30 years ago . :4_17_5:
Urban myths ,a bit like Chinese whispers , exaggerated by people who haven't had first hand experience :-\
I've said it before there are far far dearer makes that just don't attract the same negative comments .A trend ,,rather than first hand knowing ? ::)
For me JMC are beautiful , well made and the DY and AP ARE certainly more than your average frameset
I absolutely love em :smitten: They don't attract bad press but they'd snap like any other bike,,,hell they were made bya road bike manufacturer for God's sake :LolLolLolLol:
