Is it just the pic, or did that Hutch have some kinda gusset at the head tube/down tube junction?

Don't blame you for riding them, they were cheap at the time, and very early nineties stuff wasn't much stronger

Being hard-up westcountry boys we rode eighties bikes in the midschool period too. I just scanned up a few pics for the Mount Hawke Sk8park group on Facebook, thought I'd post a few here too. All are from 1991

A couple of pics of our Old Fools buddy Derrick Pascoe, riding an Aero Burner with CW bars on Mount Hawke's vert ramp when the park was outside. My PL20 in the background, plus a skater's bay window camper

My bro' pulling an abubaca at the same park on a CW Pistol Pete with Gen 1 Haro forks, VDC Woody bars and a bolt on bashguard.
