30 years ago Richard Hutchins had one of coolest BMX companys in the market ,along with SE and Skyway He had the desire to design and manufacture products a little more exotic and from Titanium and magnesium .
30 years ago the culmination of the Hutch range saw the

" The lightest complete BMX racer in the world "

The Hutch Pro Star Racer

2013 Im glad to say the "New" Hutch company have managed to produce a great looking , great feeling bike .
Maybe not pushing boundaries in its genre as Hutchins did. But nevertheless a bike I was more than happy to get as an alternative to say an S&M Speedwagon.

This machine isnt a retro replica reproduction. $:-\$ It's just a new serious track bike , great geometry , nice welds , with with few nods and features to its old original..

I love it

Very nice

Get it to Knowsley tomorrow for the 1st North regional.

Where did you get the tyres?

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2014, 06:22 PM »

At a guess, I'd say the tyres and other bits were donated by a Haro blackout.

Indeed

Had a scout for tan wall Konversions and only saw them in the states about $30 each

About £39 a pair but plus post , I'm sure they're foldables

Cheers

I actually held a black Kashi up to it ,,, it just didnt do it any favours .

Like you say Mark it's just reyyyt as is

Plus I like the look of everything black as opposed to building it up with polished or chrome bits

Betty · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2014, 11:08 PM »

Spot on as is mate, can't beat black n chrome

I confidently expect to see one of these with twin pinch flites and tuffs on

Saying that it's probably already been done
