I've been tinkering with this idea and decided to have a go , we all know old school brakes are great to look at but pants if you want them to work , I started with a 1984 Hutch Trick Star got it stripped back to bare metal then got a front hub from a road bike , rear came from a rock/trail bike , getting the lugs/mounts just right took a bit a doing but i'm more than happy with the look now , i brazed the lugs and cable guides on so if i wanted to remove them at a later date i could do so with ease . The discs are 160mm and work mega , i'll be using this as my rider now instead of the Badlander so it's been built with a purpose flatland , ramps :smitten: i'll let the pics do the talking , i'll put a spec up shortly

Hope you like guys , i'll be on this at Chester :smitten:

not going to knock you back for that....fricking awesome!

:wtf:

Thats the bollocks that Darren :daumenhoch:
Lovely bit of brazing and loving the pools and blue grip tape.
All that extra brake setup suits the trickstar to a tee for me :4_17_5:

Gets my vote for March BOTM too ;)

Confused.com

phaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! :2funny:
-
Why?... ???
-
The bike itself looks really nice, white/blue is a great colour combo :daumenhoch: but I've never been a fan of discs on a BMX, Theres a few at our local track and yes they work well but sometimes too well.
-
This is odd, its so wrong, but somehow looks so right, I am confused. Great job
Now go do some awesome endos
-
200 years ago they used to burn people for lesser crimes than this (they probably still do up north..) :)
Only joking.. That is a build with balls!! Made me smile..
Good work..

once again Daz finds a way to torture the hutch-loving yanks ;D
good work mate, look forward to seeing this close up

Should have painted it SE blue too, the Hutch police would have come round and dry bummed you!!
Nice work, your bike, your rules.
Giz a go.

-
It's different, you said that to me on the phone, but I defo wasn't expecting this. I like the Hutch build itself, but discs on a BMX are just too much for me. :-\
However, you get a massive thumbs up from me for the imagination and commitment on this, let's face it, you could have tried this mad fabrication on a Burner or a tatty Goose, you didn't know if it would work, but on a Hutch takes it off the scale, top effort pal. :daumenhoch:

Well done Darren, I love it when people think outside of the box and you have certainly done that. :4_17_5:

Just my sort of thing this :daumenhoch:
Got nothing but total respect and admiration for the builds you see on here but alot of em do conform to using the relatively small desirable parts bin. When mods are done to the beautiful quality Darren has done it only enhances the world we call bmx.
Nice one Darren, :4_17_5: I will get you a set of my prototype brakes over as soon as i pull my finger out ;) :daumenhoch:

Good on you Daz for doing something mental :crazy2: Can't wait to try it out in Chester :daumenhoch:

please tell me that's not that 84 US made trickstar i sold you :'(

thank fook for that.
i've got to ask, why didn't you just use pitbull brakes? more's the point. if you want a new school bike with old school looks, get some tubing and get on the mandrel/saw/etc and make your own with modern geometry and the old design. piece of piss for a one off.

Using a pitbull would be easy and boring , and yes i'm also looking at building a new school bike with old school looks , i can get the tubing off one of my suppliers and i've already spoken with the laser cutters i use ;) so watch this space , but i need to decide which old school look i want :daumenhoch:
-
no darren, it would have been old school, like the bike. :-X
don't you have a trickstar 2? now theres a bike asking for some engineering intervention.

Top work Darren,beautifully executed and thought out like pretty much everything you seem to do!! :daumenhoch:
-
i cant decide :-\
im not the biggest freestyle fan so i dont find it offensive
but have to say the thought and the work youve done is awesome :daumenhoch:
.......lets see if you can make a gyro to work with it :LolLolLolLol:

Darren that is genius and you've actually created a Hutch I want to have a go on. Top messing with people's heads, top mod Skills and top colour scheme.
Still don't think I'll ever want to own a Hutch though - why not do it to one of your Badlanders next? At least they ride a bit like a new school with the front end geometry and you know a 25/9 drivetrain works.

Cheers bud :daumenhoch: must admit i am toying with the idea of doing a Badlander ;) you know i've always loved the look of your blue and white Badlander :smitten: :4_17_5:

Love it, top work Mr KAP :daumenhoch:
-
Awesome... See you in a couple of weeks Kappy. Be good to meet the man behind the machine...
-
Don't get me wrong....
I Love the idea..... And the engineering is spot on.... It also looks great
BUT.... why do it to an original frame... you have loads of money Darren that's pretty clear
BUT.... In my mind you could have had Standard bikes build you just this, made to measure (100% Custom) and in my books would have been 100 times sweeter....?
I love the oldschool for its history (that includes the bad brakes) and I love the newschool for development.
In the same breath I wouldn't think twice about upgrading the brakes on an old custom car, so I guess I'm being a little 2 faced here.....
NICE WORK :daumenhoch:

Thanks for all the feed back guys :daumenhoch:, like I've said before I've built it to ride and be different , at the end of the day if I decide to put it back to standard I could do that easily and have it sprayed in a morning , it was a great project to do and I enjoyed the challenge.
Thanks again guys :daumenhoch: Kappy

Hutch are wänk anyhow, JMC is the ultimate old school bike.
Look at it this way Darren, you can go over the bars easier now.

Haha, nice one.
oldschoolace was telling me about this beast the other day, looks way better than I was imagining.
Taking it to the next radchester? ;)

NICE WORK :daumenhoch: cheers for the comments , i know i could get a company to build be a bespoke frame set but were would the challege be and the satisfaction it would just be like any other build prep and spray the frame then assemble, with the Hutch i needed to work through all the issues along the way , at the end of the day what ever one does its all about the enjoymen , i haven't butchered the frame i could quite easily put it back to standard and have it sprayed within the day :daumenhoch:
Thanks again for all the great feed back

How does it feel riding with them on then, a bit weird?

Thats what our hobbie is all about, we can all get the same parts, build bikes similar but different....
But it takes foresight & a big set of balls do do something off the chart.
Well done Darren :smitten:

Been having a play with the levers , put some late type levers on which are used with discs :shocked: fookin hell i'll kill myself think i need a little more time with the tech 77 levers back on before i go to the next level of braking power , my little lads nearly wet them selfs laughing at dad rolling around the garden after coming off :2funny:
it was so worth it seeing their faces laughing at me :smitten: :smitten: god i love this hobby something i can do with my little lads :smitten: :smitten: :4_17_5:

saw this at the last ramp night in blackpool and had a do on it , awesome is all i can say it looks brilliant and really great to ride , darren is nuts theres no 2 ways about it but he builds a good bike :4_17_5:, dib dobs on this bike when he gets bored
