I dont understand the fascination with Hutch. They were never on my radar in the 80's, arnt they just badly made overly expensive BMX's? Am i wrong? were they a late 80's thing?

Explain yourselves Hutch lovers!

Huggy Bear was pretty cool.

Had a Pro Racer BITD. Was a great bike to race. Suited me perfectly.

Hutch always looked so ‘factory’. They had some great riders like Tim Judge, Toby Henderson, Charles Townsend and Mike Miranda (Better brand ambassador than rider IMO, but still managed to look good with all the pink shit going on)

They made some top quality stuff. I know there were a few problems with some bits, but that happens to the best of them.

I’m not a Hutch lover, but what’s not to like?

The Trickstar is a lovely looking frame and forks and looks an awesome bike when built up, but other than that i don't get it either.

Although saying that, i love beats but then others can't stand them.

Rolex of the bmx world. Massively expensive to own and maintain properley but dont loose money and inconsistently unreliable

x 2, had a pro racer and it was nice but not worth the price they demand. 1.5k for the cranks and they're not really that rare $:-\$ . still it's worth it to those who buy them

Nice riding bikes, but cant see the attraction for the high prices. Not that popular BITD in my circles. But my girlfriend of the time had a Pro Raider that she used to race.

NOT just a name, very good bikes to race and ride generally. The Hutch stem made it possible for 6 footers to still race 20" as there was NOTHING else readily available at the time.

rooski · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2012, 05:38 PM »

Don't really care for em

Iconic brand though,remember them well bitd

Some parts were great,long stems,bars,frames,others truly shocking,cranks,deathtrap mini f+f,trickstar 2,lo-caliber range etc

There were many other brands that made bikes and parts as good,and better,but Hutch had the riders and were marketed well,stars n stripes everywhere,made in usa everywhere,all that b$llocks.

As for popularity now,prices etc,this is due mostly to people who couldnt afford them bitd,and can afford them now,and those who want expensive o/s stuff but are too narrow minded to think of anything different.

What's not to like ,as already said

All the valid reasons to like them have been listed .

SOME people have a stigma against them now JUST because the command fairly high prices , and that's it

and they're sheep just bleating because somebody else said it ,nobody goes on about JMC's ,, have any of you thought about trying to build a Darryl Young

,the more you get into collecting rare collectable parts ,you realise Hutch parts aren't anywhere near the proper high priced stuff

Narrow minded ,, for choosing to build a Hutch ? maybe more narrow minded for following the bleaters

If anything apart from the Aerospeeds all the Hutch parts are pretty reasonable

You can name loads of comparable parts that are far dearer,, but I'll give one each to start

Hutch stem,, ESP are dearer

Hutch Hubs ,,,Son lites dearer

Hutch frames ,, VDC dearer

Hutch bars ,,, DP ladder,, did I just say foooking DP bars

yes dearer

Hutch seatpost,,, DX post dearer

and so on

I love most BMX's and I like Hutch because they are one of the best brands , and not the dearest

Each to their own I say , you don't have to like them but it's the same old reason ,,price,, that's why people hate em

not because they're inferior

It's usually from people who haven't built anything different from the norm who chirp up

NathanRelton · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:13 PM »

Call me small minded but all I need in my life is a TA, Ripper and a Torker. Unfortunately i only have the TA at the moment but i Do have 10 & 12 year old boys and a fit second wife I am willing to trade for the other two.
