Title: Trickstars have landed in Wigan!
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on January 10, 2015, 08:52 PM: Lenny (Badbaldie) has posted some of these up on facebook already. He's struggling to upload to photobucket so asked me to post them up to :radbmxsmilie:.

As most of you radsters will know, the 1st prize for those who played the Toy Ride game in December was a Hutch Trickstar frame & forks, kindly donated by Alan Woods of the BMX institution that is Alans BMX in Wigan. Unfortunately the frames were in tansit halfway across the Atlantic when the draw was done. But now, the waiting is over. Here are some photographs courtesy of Lenny, who went to see Alan today. Old school meets new school :4_17_5:

I wonder on closer inspection how nice the welds and plating are compared to BITD?

Post by: McQUEEN on January 11, 2015, 11:31 PM: i really fancy one of these, I don't have any new school bikes, but think its a shame that they couldn't do a few sets with fork pegs and standers like the original?
