Title: What would you do?
Post by: Julian347 on November 08, 2010, 04:10 PM
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

Sure was. Wasps in the 80's then packed up. Started again with Slough Hawks in the 90's. Now well and truly retired.

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)...  ???

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.
