Got this in the post this morning, its going to need Powder Coating, the paint has got to many chips & rust spots.
It came with some good bits that Im going to sell off, it also came with the sales receipt dated 26/9/85, a custom build check list & a Hutch Owner's Manual.
Is this a US Hucth Trickstar ? I can't find a Serial Number & it has a 4130 CrMoly Made in USA Sticker on the seat tube that looks original.
& yes my Decking need a recoat

Is that the one that was on US ebay, I was watching it for a while. Did you get it for a good price in the end?
Your right its got some nice bits on it, but that f&f is a classic for sure.

My fav version of the Trickstar - not too many bits hanging off it and with geometry that works for ramp riding too
Will look the business when restored, a nice white powder coat from SuperbikeDan?

Yes won it on USEbay, it was something like £260 + another £100 shipping so not bad.
Superbike Dan is going to be busy soon, Iv got this Trickstar, a 84 Sport, a TA, two pairs of Bars & this seat post to get Powdered.
Iv used Dan before & tho he is 60 odd miles away from me, I would not use anyone else.

Nice find Chris and a bargain at that price too
Do I detect lavender grips ... if so, I'll be interested in those for my daughter's bike if they're any good

Very nice indeed. I had one of those frames on order at Superbike Ilford bitd. I went to pick it up and while I was waiting to pay in the shop some twot tried to pick the frame up but because there was no headset in it the forks fell out and put a 6 inch scratch in the downtube. After that I said I didn't want a scratched frame so I ended up with no frame and lost my £50 deposit.
I think that's a Jap frame, on the US ones the platform behind the seat stay extends much further than the support bars. I think!! It might be the other way around though.
Nice buy anyway, can't wait to see it resto'd!

It isn't a Jap Trickstar, it's a tiwanesse made frame. You can tell by the fact that the rear platform supports are at the very back of the platform. The US and Jap supports are in from the back of the platform.
