Anyone know what those little red brake cable things are that cover the semi adjusters on that Hutch ????????????

I'd love a black set for my next build but i've never seen them come up for sale.

Nice one, I think it is just the pic I don't think they are bent.

Heres the thread on the museum about that Hutch Judge.

Bar pics and dims in the ad point to Expert size , good price on those but Pro size are the more desirable ones  ;) .

i was reading an old mag article on bars from bitd and star bars were featured,they say star bars have a 27 inch sweep???'seems small to me,guess it depends how you measure them.on a thread over on bmx museum someone says star bars measure 27 3/4".we shall see :D

I've got the dims at home but Expert were approx 27x7 , Pro 28x8 . The rise in the pic looks like 7" , pics could be deceiving though ( I've had Experts before & have 2x Pro now ) .

cheers for that matt,do you reckon that they are ghp bars then and not star bars?i always thought that star bars were one size only?

Hi Mark ,

tbh as you know I'm sure there was no exact science bitd , things were quite often all over the place with parts overlapping etc . My Expert size were decalled as Star bars & looked the OG decal due to the rust/corrosion etc around it and that it was heavily faded , I sold those to DB250F but have pics at home of them on my Vector etc . The 85 GHP ad below states both models but no dims , I think I've got an earlier ad with dims on my PC at home  ;) .

Theyre not MRD bars, the brazing was alot wider and would be alot more visible in the 2nd piccy

That's a shame then  :'(


I've only seen one set in the last year or so and they were in Sawzalls garage alongside some Star bars, i must admit i didn't see any difference in the welds as i was looking at how identical in size and sweep they were.

Post by: markyp on November 09, 2010, 03:29 PM
when i get them i will fire up some pics with the dims too,hopefully the chromers might have finished stripping my other set by then so we can compare

It's nice seeing bikes still being found in that condition.
Imagine having that thing BITD  ::)
