Can you post a pic

Does it have a Baseball symbol

They were made in US in 84, Japan 84-85 & Taiwan 85 on I think

& they were all a little bit different, there was a link on here sometime ago where all the changes were listed, someone may have it

There is no baseball symbol,
And I guess it must have been on here I looked at a list of Hutch serial nºs but can't remember, I seem to recall it was a USA made '86.(But maybe that's just my memory playing with me)
The serial number is on the left rear dropout on the bottom.

will post pic's when I can.

Thanks for the help guys,
Steve.

Its a USA made frame if there is no baseball symbol, show us a pic, easier that way

Only the Jap ones had a Baseball Symbol, so it could be Taiwan

The platform around the seat tube is a little different as well.

Hi Guys,
Ok here are some pics, Now regarding the brake bridge stamping although it doesn't show in pic it appears that the "C" is a good one like the USA pic already sent by Glen, I have added pics of platform area as well to see if you can tell as I don't know about the differences in it.

Ok guys do your thing !

Cheers,
Steve.

I think thats a US one then, here is a pic of my Taiwan one, see the platform is shorter

Also your forks do not have pegs, I think the early ones didn't have pegs

Know little about hutch,but how comes its got brake lugs on the chainstays and cable guides on the downtube?

oldschool rider · « **Reply #7 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:16 AM »

Yeah that's right the early ones didn't have fork pegs but did have 990 mounts on the bottomside of the chainstays and the annoying rear standers removed

I got this frame and forks late '80's and the lad had the 990 mounts put on, rear standers cut off and I removed the fork standers.

Makes sense,I done a lot of things like that in the 90's had a Raleigh aero pro,loved the frame length/size and i added brake lugs to that

....made sense at the time $:-\$
