Title: NOS Hutch Pro Racer/Robinson F&F - Any good?
Post by: MartyC on April 27, 2006, 12:43 AM

A couple of NOS suppliers have recently got hold of some Hutch Pro Racer and Robinson F&F's, what's the general consensus; are these any good and worth a look?

From a personal point of view the Robinson's are top notch.

both good but do shop around as quite a difference in price and they do pop up up cheap at times on ebay. the hutch will be a pain as getting the bits for it ie hutch will be hard where as the robinson will be easier to do .

Alan's occasionally pop a Robinson Pro on Ebay with a starting figure of £100. Most of them go for that amount as well. Try ringing them and I'm sure you'll get a good deal on one. He sell's them in the shop for £150.
That's way cheaper than the Hutch and would get you well started on the way to building it as well.

I agree with young Zippy ;) the Robinson frame's are nice,super bling! aswell,managed to get a padset,and seatpost aswell for mine,but bars were a lot harder to find,although after i sold it,a pair came up ???

the later hutch made in taiwan is heavier and the build quality not so good. having said that this is a good alternative to the usual as no body are showing the newer hutch as a complete bike. i have one and built up looks good.

also again the robinson is a cheap alternative. if ya interested i have a nos frame never built for sale with a build up kit as well

I've seen Wolfy's Robinson frame fresh in the box and it's a minter. They're nice in Chrome as well. Mine's a red one though, not sure you can get them anymore.
