Not aimed at anyone in particular but Hutch owners in general?
Why oh why has it become compulsory to take pics of all the parts laid out all neat and tidy before you build it up?
This seems to have been started by the yanks and now it's caught on here, i've even seen stuff in display cases ffs... :idiot2:
Before and after resto pics are acceptable in fact encouraged but these 'money shots' are just getting annoying.... please stop.... :angel:
It's gonna start creeping in on every build not just Hutch's... :crazy2:
Discuss.... :D

By the way, that aint some fookin anti meat or vivisection shite.
Just always think shots of the bike parts laid out looks a bit like a dissected bike.

Nice effort Mark, but points have to be deducted for the bubble wrap and the parts aren't symmetrically laid out with all the Hutch logo's facing the same way... :yahoo_silent:

It's an old pic, it was there as lumps of metal on the floor I was cleaning up and it dawned on me how much £ it was worth. Frightening when you add it up. :idiot2:

I first saw it when Maxlomax put his Hutch pics up and I thought it looked pretty cool so I done it too. A lot of work has gone into restoring some of those parts and once it's on the bike it would be easy to just scan the bike and say 'yeah, thats a really nice bike' (if that's your opinion). By taking separate shots you can see each component in detail and that may enhance your opinion of the finished bike. On the other hand, if it annoys the Fook out of you then you're gonna think it's shite anyway because it's put you in a bad frame of mind. ;D

It's sad that people are posting about a bike in bits rather than one that's built up , complete and finished IMO ..
No matter what bike it is !! ???
-
if you got it - show it
some times a bike can be shown in parts being built up in a thread
some times it's nice to show all the parts in there glory
it can be a burner to a hutch
we are all here for bmx - if we were all the same it would be boring ;)

For some reason there tends to be more of s snobbery against Hutch ,,rather than a one from owners
The hating comments usually come from people with Calis and Burners
Why ?
Is it because some think £500 is the max anyone should spend on build
You can have bikes that have cost around £200 and they've been faves :smitten:
but then also had to pay the same for a stem for another guild
They certainly aren't the most expensive parts ,, you can build a Pro racer up for the same price as a nice Ripper
Many of the Hutch parts were respected by Pro riders , particularly , the pedals and stems and for a good reason
Rich Hutchins wanted to make his parts better than other brands , look better, lighter, and better quality
is that a bad thing
Some people want a Ford Mondeo ,,some people want a Porsche
Most aren't bothered and like ALL BMX ,,, that's the way it should be :daumenhoch: :angel: :angel: :angel:

Do you think if I laid out my 77 Cook Bros and all the parts it would get the same reaction as a Hutch ? Prsonally I don't think it would although most of the parts apart from the cranks cost far more than a Hutch.
Plus if you lay out a high end 70's build it would'nt get the same comments as the Hutch thing, even though most of the parts take a huge amount of hunting / begging to get hold of and plenty of them are far from cheap. £200 for a brake lever for eg. Perhaps its becuase most are not familiar with the components ! ??? Anyway I'm not anti or pro the whole layout thing its your bike and you have earned the cash to pay for the bits so show them off how you like :)

spot on Ash .. :daumenhoch: 70's bikes take far more time and care to source . Try and find a Nos 78 quilted Elina Or comp 2's ^"^
What I'm saying is there will be more posts talking about the bits laid out on the floor from this hutch than comments in the the thread with Adams awesome bike finished in its glory ..

if it helps it costs no more for a top end paint job for a hutch than it does a burner, to me
both are an old skool icon and both get exactly the same prep and finish, like all the collectors
i put a 110% into getting the best finish, each to there own and all deserve the respect that the
owners put into resourcing, there vision of there build and the restoration, hutch, Pooch or burner
all are old skool bmx :daumenhoch:

To be honest I think some folks are missing the point a bit. Of course a thread on a 70's bmx isn't going to get a huge amount of interest against some of the other builds. That's not to say that they are not appreciated or built to lesser standard. It's becouse the majority of users on rad never had a bmx in the 70's. They were in the 80's when bmx really found its footing and started to develop into different fields such as race and freestyle. They are going to relate to bikes from the 80's more. The one thing that does annoy me a little is folks trying to build there ride as a factory spec as per the magazine pictures. Coz from what I remembered very few riders kept there bikes how they bought them. In fact most riders just bought a frame & forks and transferred their bits over from their old ride! Another thing with building a bike to factory spec some of the parts were poor in quality and broke easily and subsequently they are now rare and worth a fortune :idiot2: I certainly won't be paying top dollar for something that was known to be be utter shite back in the day. As far as laying your bike bits out to take a pic. I quite like the idea. And it's nice to see the componants. I suppose it's horses for courses. There are loads of things you could moan about on rad but to be honest starting a thread on this seems a bit pointless and comes across as a bit of a dig towards a few members on here that have built some fairly expensive hutch bicycles! Or maybe that's just me. :LolLolLolLol:

I would also add. My comments about factory spec bikes were for builds from the mid 80's onwards. As before that most riders were on their first or maybe if you were lucky second bmx. To be honest most people's first bmx was kept stock apart from a few bits. But when there was a lot of variety on bmx parts in the mid 80's stock bikes were rare to see. Am I making sense here? :daumenhoch:

total sense to me .you only saw people new to the sport on full spec bikes ,i started with a firebird then got sponsored so that became my street bike ,some of the bits off it were moved to my race bike but not a lot, but people used to change bits every week :daumenhoch:
-
Nowt wrong with factory spec bikes, all my GT`s are built to either factory spec or catalogue spec,not that anyone gives a shit..... even Fiolas bikes were GT factory spec from mid 85, cos NOTHING COMES CLOSE :4_17_5: :D
if peeps want to spend a million pound on NOS stuff fair play to them, id rather restore everything i can thats were all the graft and appreciation is for me, were it gets over looked 9 times out of 10 by a build full of NOS parts
:daumenhoch:
i agrre with this too lol not much i dont agree with :LolLolLolLol:
-
I think its just a statement thing..................... ;D
Oooooow look at my hutch bits! :coolsmiley:

So in conclusion to this ever so melodramatic thread we can safely say that some people don't like the 'parts laid out pics' and some people do, we can also deduce that some people like Burners while others like Hutch's and finally that it would have to be an exceptionally unique BMX to place a £10k price-tag upon it. :daumenhoch:
My philophosy is simple, if I dislike a thread I try to refrain from emptying my bowels through my mouth. :daumenhoch:

Why oh why has it become compulsory to take pics of all the parts laid out all neat and tidy before you build it up?
Is it because they want a clue as to how all the parts fit together. :daumenhoch:
or
Is it at that point they're soooo exited it's nearing chuff, chuff, chuffing time. ;)
or
Maybe before the cracks settle in. ;D

Just sharing the love. 8)

Hey ,hey,hey :4_17_5:
Nice try but you're not getting the hang of it Mark :daumenhoch:
Close ,but leave it to the profesionals :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:
3 rings , 2 stems ,no frame :crazy2: ;D
-
mark wtf are you doing parts MUST be spaced at least 2 inches apart as not to effect their nos ness :D
-
A poor effort i know... :-[
Had multiples of parts out to decide on a colour scheme?
Is that not the right thing to do?
Maybe i should have put a thread up with a vote and let the people decide?
???

Here's my attempt at a spread for a 'four Burner build' :D
