Lets get some heated debate going - I dont like Hutch

[QUADROPHENIA]

I luv a hutch me, especially when I am selling

[hunterdubber]

Pete ,,,just think of a price you're happy with then double it , times 10 ,double it and put plus postage 

[wildon]

BTW I got a judge for sale for someone with deep pockets

me me me .. i love Hutch that much i'll pay triple what anyone else will give you and i'll even wait till they go out of fashion for you to post it

[HARORIDER]

it's now all over priced tat the lot of it 

[kungfunky]

It's expensive but not rare and most of the parts are reasonably easy to get hold of if you know the right people, compared to the lesser known but more desirable and costly 70's parts. Even if you do know the right people it takes a whole heap of work to get them to sell, not just for the money but they want to make sure the parts go to a genune collector and not ebay for profit.
I do agree with what the Haney brothers have done to push the value of Hutch parts up though, but good for them for getting in their 1st I guess

Is that meant to be 'don't' Ash      Hutch is far too common these days,  It's like having a Burner in your house

oops, I ment I agree with what was said about them 

[Jon The Bassist]

Must have had something going for them if they could propel my slow ass to national finals... any idea how few 20" bikes actual fit me in the late 80s?
Here's my battered old Pro Racer F&F and deep H stem, probably about 3rd/4th hand when I got them:

whats a hutch ? 

[Gnarlyscoots]

whats a hutch ?  

Here's a Dubber Hutch 

[glenboy]

i like the hutch stuff, when i was a kid i never saw a hutch though    it was all gt's ,pks burners etc , i suppose its like a lot of old school bmx stuff its the kudos of having something good like vector bars ,hutch donut seat clamp, haro gen1 etc it doesn't mean its a lot better than other stuff but its just got the kudos and a lot of hutch stuff has this its sort of top of the line and as hunterdubber says it was top end stuff even back in the day (hunterdubber makes some good points in the thread by the way i knew he'd be on it as soon as i saw the thread title  

[bobbbbsy]

hutch.. too much. too well known by world and dog! not particularly keen on the branding or look/design of the parts or prices! 

Pooches looked good on the london ride !

[bobbbbsy]

whats a hutch ?  

Here's a Dubber Hutch 

NOOO. make it stop !! 

[Peter J]

Jon I've got to ask.......how bloody tall are you

That Pro Racer looks like a mini  

[Jon The Bassist]

About 6"1' I think - does look small doesn't it, tyres were 1.75 and 1.5 so makes the wheels look even smaller
Imagine what it'd have been like without a pro sized frame and long stem...

[Gashead]

Is this time to say I have a lovely Hutch Judge for sale 

[trickydeno]

why are diesel jeans better than wrangler?'theyre not but just THE NAME to have,hutch was the fashionable name,the rich mans bike,nothing more or less.i loves em

spot on marky 

[stidds]

Although Hutches leave me pretty meh!  And those with chrome frame and forks with hints of chrome and chrome accents leave me cold.

I have to say that a Hutch does look nice when built correctly (i.e. NOT ALL BLOODY CHROME   )

The cuts are better, the denim roll is of far higher quality and they are put together better.

[80sBMXer]

not as good as Allsaints jeans though 

[skki3330]

I have a Hutch Trickstar on my must have list so i suppose i must like them 

[monkian]

I can't really see anything offensive about them...except maybe the prices, oh and the Trickstar II
They're an iconic brand with an important place in the sports history but like most brands some models and parts are better than others.
The race frames held their own on the track BITD and look nice enough to my eyes plus they were innovators.

Seems like it's just today's prices, being the 'All American Brand' and having incredible marketing nous for the time that folks have the problem with
Get past all that and they have some very very nice products (IMO)

[kungfunky]

But they did make some tosh..What was that downhill racer. Laser or something
