Well said Christian

I rode a Trick Star all through my teens hence my fixation with them now .. which over spilled into all things Hutch.

You have to admit they went all out bitd .. how many other brands of the same era made so many parts? ok, some like the aerospeeds weren't that good but most the stuff was.... until they lost their minds post 86

Over priced tat and the Trickstar is rotten (as are all freestyle bikes ever made by every manufacturer). Excellent marketing, though.

...if any one what's to give me a Hutch Judge, in blue

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.

I'm not saying you're small minded ,, I was refering to Andy Rooski's view that it's small minded to build a Hutch rather than another make

and I thought it seemed more small minded to hate them ,,,,,,,just based on somebody saying "ooo aren't they dear"

Everybody warms to a brand ,,, some people just like Mongooose some just like SE ,

Are they small minded ?

No

I have 14 different makes in my collection ,,before you say I'm small minded too

Yay ,,,,you got yourself the debate you wanted

Crap product, been and gone by 1990 when haro, mongoose, GT, redline are still going, prices got pumped up by haneys when they had shed loads of it 10 years ago, got loads of collectors to want it then just cashed in........

That should say

Hutch gone by the time Mongoose, GT Redline ,Haro were ALL bought out and lost the original owners passion

and turned into just generic mass produced far eastern shight

not very desirable innovative or cool anymore $:-\$

How many times have all those manufacturers changed hands tho?

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #32 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:37 PM »

Hutch never had a chance to change hands, it fell apart before he could sell it on

Don't fluff around the subject Pete just say what you mean!

I started riding in 80 on my puch Murray and gave up in 84 coz I was sh1t! So I think I missed the freestyle bike thing. I have a puch that I bought about 8 years ago. I had forgotten what a pile of crap they were! THe only other bike I had bitd was a burner gs! We weren't very rich I am afraid. I could wheelie forever, rock walk, endo etc but quarter pipes were a bit beyond me. My 12 year old has a custom S&M BTM that's cost me about £1400 so far but he is awesome on it and unlike most parents I know how important bmx's are.

It's hard to keep a rabbit without one ..

Never really done out for me though .. Just a posh over priced BMX .... Even though I do love the pedals ..

Robinson for life ....

Re: Lets get some heated debate going - I dont like Hutch

i know what you mean i always liked starsky better but without hutch to bounce off it just wouldn't be the same program and if the torino wasn't in it as well that would have just killed it, i think its the chemistry of hutch starsky and the crappy chases in the torino crashing into cardboard boxes so i think you have to have the whole package

That should have been the title.... 'is hutch your crotch?'. Skki3330 your a genius.

Good points well put Dubber

In reference to my narrow minded point,this refers to people who build a Hutch bike because they think they ARE the best,most exclusive bikes and therefore need to build one for that reason,without thinking about interesting alternatives:daumenhoch:

southern andy · « **Reply #41 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:28 PM »

Far too common for me, Rippers and Skyways seem even more common.

I like the rare stuff you just don't see anymore, and Hutch is not that brand.

BUT..... when a Hutch is built properly, there ain't too many bikes out there that look that good.

I don't have a problem with Hutch parts though, their pedals were iconic and they still are today.

I think Christians post earlier on was bang on the money..... Top post.

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #43 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:43 PM »

For me,it's my favourite frame set that i had BITD,achieved my best results on my Pro Racer...so i guess the brand has stuck with me to this day. Never had any of the problems with the frame snapping,yes,my first deep H stem did start flaking it's chrome , yes they replaced it no quibble. Other than that no probs.Never owned a set of Aero speeds,never likely to. I guess as said before,it's just what your into,each to their own. There's brands about i'm not fond of,but the way i see it is these things are personal to every individual.
