Buff Trick Star to go with RL’s Prostyler??
« on: January 15, 2019, 05:36 PM »
Now that the RL20 is finished - I wondered whether I should do Mike Buff’s Trick Star to go with it. I’ve got a Buff Ripper on the bench awaiting parts to turn up, so need something else to work on.

I’ve got the Zeds  ;)
Now, if anyone has a red, white and blue Max USA seat cover - I have a spare kidney I don’t necessarily need.

Funny how RL's bike runs a Potts mod but Buff's has a standard front brake  :chin:
Does the Trickstar not have a coaster mount as that looks like a Diacompe seat clamp on the rear stays?
Looking forward to another top build mate  fistblump

The original model/s didn’t have coaster tab and the forks - no pegs. This was pre-production. You’ll notice it wasn’t even called a Trick Star and was listed as a Hutch Freestyler.

Parts spec from the same magazine. Interestingly, some of it is incorrect in my opinion. The seat is clearly a Kashi, the stem is def not Hutch and the chainring is Tuf Neck not Pro Neck. I’d welcome your grumblings on this  ;D

Going to have the tab professionally removed intact so it can be welded back on if necessary. This may well be a keeper, so even though it makes me puke thinking about cutting it - doing it anyway. I have never seen a Trick Star (Hutch Freestyler) without the tab, ever. Otherwise I’d look out for one instead. Somebody will pop up now with two  :knuppel2:

Pretty sure the seat is an Elina, a Turbo aero. That's just mho, but looking at the image closely the nose looks too deep for a kashi:

I reckon Pete is right about the seat Simon...at least that's one thing they got right!!
Regarding the seat cover...i would probably ask Steve (ESM) if he could make a replica, i would not have thought that would be outside his capabilities.. :daumenhoch:

Look what’s just arrived, so happy to see these. A nos Suntour 36 coaster hub and some 105 gage spokes (absolute bitch to source) as used by Mike back in the day. Now to get that hub stripped and off to Dan for a coat of white  8)
