Title: Butch Hairtraps
Post by: Flatcap on October 24, 2008, 07:34 PM: Can someone PLEASE explain the Hutch Bairtraps situation to me!

Supply and demand usually dictates what something will fetch, how good it/they are is another. I appreciate certain things are worth what someone will pay. But really really don't get the Hutch Bairtrap thing! It's not like they were any good. They were/are awful pedals. Proper shin wreckers!

Someone explain it before I go mad!

Daz.

Yer right as pedals go they are pretty shite, you cant beat a pair of dx's... :daumenhoch:

Post by: sweetbeats on October 24, 2008, 07:43 PM: Personally I love them and a HUTCH build looks not the full deal without them (in my eyes).
Price wise they are pricey in good condition but I have to have some when i do my HUTCH build other pedals just don't look right..pricewise I think the aerospeed cranks are a worse offender :daumenhoch:

Post by: lodge on October 24, 2008, 10:12 PM: one factor may be they were mega mega expensive in the 80's as far as pedals went.

Title: Re: Butch Hairtraps
Post by: mr.magoo on October 30, 2008, 06:33 PM: Unfortuanately not my find :'( a guy i used to race with bitd, met again recently after 22 years, told me he was getting his old cruiser back which had been stood in a shed for 15 years, so been helping him strip it ready for powder and rebuild, also got GT chrome sealed hubs, cw cruiser bars, one ukai one araya rim, but 15 yeasr of damp shed life has made it look a bit tat. :LolLolLolLol:

but yeah he's willing to sell most parts, as neither of us have time (or patience) for restoring, and the fact that were both riders, and both like to take some heavy crashes, so don't wanna wreck potentially good historical stuff :LolLolLolLol:
