Title: TRICKSTAR! kinda finished
Post by: Faze 3 on October 15, 2007, 11:46 AM: Here's some pictures of my Hutch build, I've been putting this together for a while after swapping it for a performer, with a fellow RAD ster.

But with the sky high Hutch prices my enthusiasm and wallet are feeling a little dis heartened :-X

I know it needs some work, but could do with some advice? Whats it need fella's apart from a grand in Hutch bits :(

I think it looks good. Much more like a real bitd rider. Im not really that keen on Hutched out "advert bikes" bikes that you would never really see anyone riding.

...you can quite easily spend stupid money on builds, there has to be a compromise somewhere, but your build looks good, and I do love a Trickstar !!

Post by: Faze 3 on October 15, 2007, 04:32 PM: thanks for comments guys, really was expecting a good ol grillin :D Probably cos I've been so inspired by the outstanding Hutch trickstars I've seen on RAD. Felt a tiny bit tempted not to post pics yet.

I would really like a hutch western stem, pedals, forks and seat clamp. But just can't find um at reasonable prices. Seems in the last 6 months or so everything has rocketed in price :-\ The better half would go nuts if I went bidding on a hutch 3 piece crank :D

The chainwheel looks pretty plop to, was thinking of all white, any thoughts? At least Del is gonna sort me out a top set of orange decals.

Might even re-spray it all black 8)
