Profile and Hutch 24 comparison
« on: April 19, 2014, 02:39 PM »
I remember reading something on the early days of Profile and Hutch.
Working together then parting ways but producing the same 20" f/f.
Profile then introduced the bar to differentiate.


I was interested to see how the 24's compared. It seems they are totally different altogether.
Thanks to steve for waiting a bit, This enabled me to get some comparison shots while both f/f's were in my possesion.
This sort of shiz interests me and i know it does a few others but i havent seen it posted anywhere.
So here are some pics.

The profile fork drops have a greater curve and a larger hole. The profiles also have a flat end to the tube whereas the hutch has a sweeping cut.


The Hutch has Essex girl type sweep from the fork crown  :) (Steve's description )

The geomytry is totally different too.
The profile has a more relaxed seat and headtube angle compared to the Hutch.
The profile has a thinner top tube with the bar support. Then a thick down tube.
The Hutch has a thick top tube and down tube.
From the fork to the bb shell both frames meet up but the Hutch has a longer back end.




The profile has thicker dropouts.


Hope a few of you find the pics a little informative and interesting.  :coolsmiley: :radbmxsmilie:

Cheers Glynn, yep I'm very interested. :daumenhoch:

As the others have said, they are quite different but I'm also not that surprised that the BB is in a very similar place for both. Didn't JJ (BaldBMXer) used to race a Hutch cruiser  ???

Interesting that the Profile has thicker drops, I wouldn't have expected that.

A beautiful pair, for me the ideal frame set would be an amalgamation of the two using the Hutch forks and rear triangle...

I think he did mate.
I know he has a very tasty example tucked away too, not sure if it's his from bitd.

Looking at them I don't think they would have got away with the holes been the size they are if the drops had been any thinner.
You can see pro & cons for both & what they might have been thinking. An amalgamation would be good of the plus points.

Very informative Glynn and also very surprising there's that much difference  :coolsmiley:

I'm gonna need more than "magic" on this one Joff.
i'm only buying in one thing for this build and that's a DK invert stem (so i can utilize a set of bars that's in stock). The rest is any ol' shite i've got knocking about in the  spares box  :whistle:
