Modern Hutch Trickstars
Andyboy77:
Hi everybody,
recently I found a picture online - more or less accidentally - of a modern Hutch Trickstar. I guess it was a 2015 or a 2016 model, but not sure about that.
What I'm sure about is, that it looked really awesome because it had that old school look combined with modern technology (parts, geometry and so on) - which I liked a lot.
I went to the Hutch website and they have a flatland f&f set there, that doesn't seem too expensive. But I don't know about the quality of these new f&f sets in comparison to the old ones from the 80's. Actually I don't know anything about the old Trickstars either, other than I like their look. Never had a chance to ride one and I don't think I could afford one nowadays.
My thought was to get a really good bike to ride, that has an old school look to it, but isn't as expensive. I'm not sure if 900$ to 1800$ is the usual price range for the old ones - but compared to that 1500$ for a new complete doesn't seem to be a bad deal. But that's only the calculation or math behind it. 1500$ for a complete would be a bad deal if the new ones aren't any good.
Does anyone have experiences with the old and the new ones in comparison - in order to put some light on that whole subject for me? The new ones look really good I think, but do they ride as good as they look like, are they a bit on the heavy side, and what other components would you recommend to use with the new f&f set (bars, crank set, stem, brakes, gyros, rims ...and everything to have a complete bike) ?
I know these are quite a lot questions, so many thanks in advance for helping me with this subject. :daumenhoch:
