Title: Hutch Pro Racer and Pro Star
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on September 03, 2006, 05:27 AM

How do i tell the difference between these two frames? I have just aquired a Hutch frame. American made(no serial) and it has the remenants of one of the decals on the top of the rear tri... all that is left is the word Pro. It is not a Raider as the downtube is bigger than the Raider.

They were both the same frame, legend has it that they hand picked the best ones to use as the pro stars.
