What would you do?
I’ve got my old Hutch Pro Racer from back in the day. It’s got a crack from the weld on the headtube to about an inch on the downtube. :(
Is the frame something that somebody would buy, or should I sell the forks on their own.
Thanks
-
If you can find a buyer for the forks,i may be interested in the frame(pending price)
-
any pics of the damage? ;)
-
I'll sort some pics out and post them tonight or tomorrow morning.
-
yeah, yeah get a pic up.. ;)
and pm a price?

How do you post pics?

There are a couple of small dings which don't show up on the pics. One is on the top tube and would be hidden by a pad and there is a small one on back triangle. The chrome isn't in the best condition the frame. The forks are better, although the chrome has started to flake in a few places.
0145678 is the serial number on the rear dropout.

think it will pay having the down tube replaced on that one? ...i mean they're 'only' like ca. $160+ on the bay (in good condition)... ???

Be good to see it brought back to life with a new tube ;)

I'd be interested in the forks at the right price ;)

Deffo a candidate for repair, don't think it would be too hard for someone like Sawzall or that Andy fella with the drag racing fabrication, the mate of Fuzzynods :daumenhoch:

Got a couple of people interested in it. Had thought about getting a new tube a while back.
I've had a Hutch now and there's a list of bikes I'd like to own as long as my arm. Still got my 83 Kuwahara Nova though. My first 'proper' BMX. That ones staying with me and It'll get some TLC when I finish my dream bike Skyway TA.
