Nice bike

I think there have been a few hutch pro racers for sale on bmxmuseum over the last week that haven't been up for silly money (relatively speaking-they are hutch after all). I managed to get a frame & forks off the bay about 18 months ago for about £190. Luckily it was in France, so i didnt get stung for import duty/customs. I found that trying to find a set of grips was difficult. The ones for sale were knackered, or a new old stock set were up for £250+. Mangaed to get a dyed black set (were blue) in ex/mint cond for £160 on ebay. Patience (and money) are the key. Good luck with it!

I cannot believe the Hutch Tax people pay for those grips!They are the same Tange blister givers that came on burners for fooks sake!fooking horrible things!probably some of the worst grips ever produced imo!

You have made a real good job on this beat mate. Keep the opc I say. I've been looking at going another beat as I regret selling my white one.

And besides, it means more Streetbeats for me!!

Hi guys, whats is the difference between a streetbeat and a streetstyler ? seen the NOS stylers on the bay of evil for £299 and just a bit curious. Many thanks and happy new year gentleman !

A Streetbeat has the oval aero type downtube whilst the streetstyler's is round.
Also the Streetbeat was laden with more high end parts and was considered the better of the two.

Nothing wrong with a Streetstyler, Craig Campbell and Carlo Griggs used them BITD.......I have a NOS one.
