I'm 99% sure it's a fake. The reason? The seller. That's all you need to know. Hutch seatposts do not have any stampings. They are also fairly short - 12 inches I think. I'd remove mine from my bike, measure it and photograph it, but unfortunately it's got half a can of monster energy wrapped round it as a shim. Took me ages to secure it too, as the repop Hutch seatclamps don't actually clamp very well  >:(

Is this seller also use to be deans?????? something of the bay.

sells old clearly used stuff then magically turns it in to NOS

if it is him the only thing I'd say was real is that it's actually a seat post anything else I'd take with a bucket full of salt

That's him. Same bloke. Some of his stuff looks good to be fair, but it's the blatent fraudulent listing of re-finished parts (and repop stickers listed as originals) that is out of order - especially in a scene such as ours. Maybe he got ripped off years ago, so thought i'll do the same to everyone else. Not very  :radbmxsmilie:

If you're on here Mr Deans (and I think you are), why can't you just be honest with your listings. I for one would have bought a fair few items from you and would have paid good money if you'd been honest with your listings. The chrome job on some of your items (JDB Hutch cranks and Pro Neck powerdisc) looked spot on  :)

I don't think he is Andy
He'd never get past the 'what does NOS stand for?' question when you sign up  :teef:
