Hutch Frames

Ok i've read some stuff about Hutch's overseas frames, my question is: were hutch hollywoods made in taiwan, i believe if the frame has a baseball symbol on it next to the serial number then its a foreign frame, also led to believe these were lacking in quality against the american frames, ( whats your opinions ? )
Ok so would you buy a frame with the baseball symbol on it?

martylaa:
Thanks for that Glenn, asking because i was looking at a nos hollywood for a good bit of money, with the intention to build up old hutch style, but its got the baseball symbol, dam missed out on one earlier in the week              ( american made ) because i'm waiting for a man with a judge to get back to me with a price and did'nt want to buy both, wish i'd bought the earlier hollywood now!!!!!
Have you managed to find a judge frame yet?

Some good Hutch info here on both the usa made hutch and the overseas production as well.
Never owned a hutch but from what I have read stay clear of the baseball and stick with us or pre serial hutch and you will be a winner :daumenhoch:
You should be able to pick something up decent off US ebay more so than the UK good luck,Jason :daumenhoch:

LOL, the baseball was when they were made in japan, you can not fault the quality of the japaneese stuff. The last pro racers and a few others made in taiwan are pretty unpopular. You get what you pay for.
american made stuff is usually more desired and fetches more money, jap stuff is good though. There is a slight difference between us and jap trickstars, but the race stuff is identical.
i'm not sure who said it, but i thought a hollywood was a pro-racer in a gay colour.

you get no serial, us made
serial no baseball on dropout, us made
serial with baseball on dropout jap made
serial under BB shell taiwan shit, the brake bridge is welded op top not in between the seatstays.

stuntmaster:
some of the hutch race frames made in japan are  better than usa model as i had both but usa boys don`t like to hear that and it`s the same with trickstar`s .
there is a slight difference between a hollywood and pro racer and it`s by the seat tube section (and i don`t mean like a judge ) other than that no  change
