Here u go fella

I discovered at MK12 that i had found a pair of gen 1 Itson bars

nearly chucked em out cos they looked like some new school tat they had been cut down that much

they is the correct length again now but need some more resto on the grinding scars before I get them refinished

Price I have no idea

A reply at last!thanks Steve,look forward to seeing the results!why do people cut bars??

I just wanna know if they came out pre or in 1984.If so they will be ideal for what i need.I seem to remember seeing some for sale a while back on here.Any ideas anyone??

Know when they were made Adam?is your Trick Star 84?

I read a write up where woody says he started riding for Hutch in 83... prior to that he was with VDC who made the bars for him. 82 sounds too early but by that reconing i would say VDC Woody bars are 83. Hutch produced them after Woody signed with them.

Fantastic,thanks Terry that pretty much was what i was looking for.Do you happen to know if the Hutch ones are more or less valuable than VDC?

i`m after a set if anyone has any as really need to start a trickstar here one day and colours depend on who made them ie vdc or hutch as hutch ones came all different colours , vdc came in black and chrome unknown on other colours .

wildon · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2012, 05:37 PM »

Price I'd say anywhere from 100-250 depending on condition, rough, nos etc etc etc. as for colours, prob all of the hutch colours, candy blue, candy red, baby blue, white, chrome, pink, purple, futuristic black, .. As far as Vdc it's anyone's guess $:-\$

deeman · « **Reply #14 on:** November 20, 2012, 05:52 PM »

I saw a red set on the museum recently,think they were VDC

funnily enough they arent VDC .. well if they are they are decalled up wrong. thats the Hutch decal on the left. VDC had the winged logo

greentoad · « **Reply #21 on:** November 26, 2012, 07:42 PM »

I always thought the real Woody Bars (VDC) came out in Q3 ~ Q4 1984 in the UK? Then Hutch (they still did adverts in 1986), then Diamond Back.

I also found a thread that I replied to back in 2006, (wow

) that was a while ago.

Hope this helps.

As on the advert in Feb 1985 of BMX Action Bike (PG19) for VDC Monkey Bars - @ £28.95 and Woody Itson Bars - @ £26.95

So, VDC are £2 more exspensive (over 10%).

photo of me above was 84/85 as i sold the sport f&f and got a red fst to be like brian blyther( in oct85 when i was 16 and had an endowment policy out!!!) so dont know who made them but they sure didnt say hutch on the stickers

glenboy · « **Reply #24 on:** November 26, 2012, 08:09 PM »

whats the main visible difference for the vdc as opposed to hutch ones is the shape or the tube thickness or the crossbar position , i've noticed the crossbar can be lower or higher on some
