I'm hopefully going to pick up a tatty chrome expert soon,looking to do it in the same colour way as the Heather O'Rourke black Hutch bike,looking to put gold Maxi Cross on that(although the original did'nt have em). The Bullseye's were only a passing thought,fair comment!

Black and Gold? you cant beat that color combo.

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:11 AM »

Here are the pedals I'll be using.

Hutch mini bear traps with titanium axles and Urchin cages. I dont like the Urchins but I feel they are era correct for the Lawsuit and the black cages just looks good.

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:27 PM »

List of needed items.

Grips: Black Oakley O wings w/ Jumbo donuts, Hutch (overkill ?)

Cranks: Avocet 144 bdc's or tried and true Gold 165 Maxys

Tires (?) IRCs, Panaracers

Brakes: 900s w/tech 4 (?)

I have to remember that this is a mid 80s frame set.

Any updates Hector?

Unreal thread, what a bike...!

I loved my White Hutch hubs until I stripped the rear axle one day (

)and eventually snapped my pedals ( 2 sets, boo!)

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #32 on:** March 21, 2010, 12:08 AM »

but the main thing is...have you still got the hubs?

Well, I finally found some tires I like. 1 3/8 IRC Z II's. I also picked up a UNI mini pro seat

I'm also in the process of obtaining some super rare Profile 3rd gen 170 mm cranks. Perfect for this build.

All that is left is to find a set of rear black or gold DC 901s w/ dated cable and a Tech 4 lever

I need to hurry though, 2 more months for the OS-BMX Legends show in June

Hector, will 901's be too deep for the 1"3/8's? You might need an old road caliper or maybe a 890 with the slots drilled up a bit? maybe even drill the caliper body with small holes like they did BITD? And as for cranks, is that a specific bb in there or is it a threaded shell that will take any euro crank?

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 01, 2010, 09:00 AM »

Well, the 901s seem to be a hair shorter then the rest at 66mm compared to 73mm+ minimum. If it doesn't fit, I can try a shorter mx 750. 890s are actually longer with a 68mm min reach

The shells are pressed in and take a smaller standard square taper spindle. After removing the bearings from the frame set, I realized that if I remove the spacer, I could fit a profile splined spindle with either spacers or collars on each side.

I test fit my 2nd gen box crank spindle and all was good.

martylaa · « **Reply #37 on:** April 01, 2010, 09:22 AM »

did you ever find those black o wing s then?

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #38 on:** April 01, 2010, 03:19 PM »

Crap...I forgot about needing grips

Still need O-wings or Hutch grips

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 07, 2010, 08:54 PM »

what about NOS Profile 170mm 3rd gens?

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #40 on:** April 07, 2010, 08:56 PM »

aluminium?

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2010, 09:45 PM »

good call...No, they are not.

I need to stick with aluminum right....argh

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #42 on:** April 07, 2010, 10:11 PM »

love those Profile ali cranks... a woodruff key for locating the crank on the spindle.

AGUILAR3 · « **Reply #43 on:** April 07, 2010, 10:57 PM »

and since there are only 2 known to exist, that makes obtaining them a bit difficult

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #44 on:** April 07, 2010, 11:14 PM »

ooh! learn somat every day.....fair comment. but looks wise,would have killed.

PK6061 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 25, 2010, 09:34 AM »

keep up the good work hector

jT Racing · « **Reply #46 on:** April 27, 2010, 04:28 PM »

i love 600's, they look nicer than a lot of cranks from the road bikes. they did some nice colours for bmx too. I got a NOS set on my 82 laserlite and they just look like they are built for speed.

that build is gonna be very very nice. Anybody know who the family is that finished off hutch?

are you nearly finished? looking forward to seeing it done.

steve · « **Reply #47 on:** May 25, 2010, 12:16 AM »
