Hutch Quality

Quadog:
Hi All,

I’ve just took my Hutch Trickstar apart to give it a bit of a clean then realised how bad the condition of the paint was on all the usual places so it looks like a full re spray but what I also noticed was that the quality it’s a bit shite when compared to other makes next to my laserlite it looks like I welded it same goes for my quad .so has anyone else noticed this as when you look through old mags they were not cheap always thought they were the bollocks .Also what is the RAL code for pink 👍

Cherrypicker:
Best to just throw it away really. I’ll come get rid of it for you  :daumenhoch:

deeman:
Never owned a Hutch but have read plenty of threads about suspect build quality on Hutch. They could not get them out the door fast enough in 84/ 85 demand was so high that quality sometimes suffered no matter who the manufacturer   :daumenhoch:

hotdog:
I've got a U.S. made '84 TS and the welds are very good and nothing like yours. Going off your platform supports,it looks like yours could be 'far eastern' made with the baseball stamped serial number.

Taipan:
I also think it depends where your Hutch was made/welded/painted etc too ......Never thought Hutch had the best reputation for there frame sets...usually when you find a used example there in very poor condition and the chrome ones were the worst of the bunch! poor chrome that peeled like a ripe banana!
