Out of interest how often do these frames come up, what do they ususally sell for.....any info ??

I know they were the top Hutch b.i.t.d and they came specced up, but anyone seen a f&f for sale recently ?

winnit93 · « **Reply #1 on:** November 25, 2009, 10:40 AM »

And Pro star decals Scott

i thought the forks were slightly different on the Pro Star, but my knowlege is shite on Hutch's

Like Scott says they were hand picked Pro Racer frames used on the Pro Star, chosen if the chrome / welds etc was particularly good, stickered up and kitted out with all the best parts. The forks were non - drilled, I've had a couple of extra pairs over the years and the drop outs were skinnier than normal

Past up an old Advert or 2 please

Cheers Mark

You can have an advert

but would a pic do you also? It's had a major make-over, got the number plate fitted now. Looks better without I reckon though....

One of the guys at BADBMX has a complete Hutch Pro Star with all the original components on it. He used to race on it in the 80s and did a few old school races on it before he realised how much it was worth. I think someone in America offered him a couple of grand for it, but he's holding on to it for now.

Your Good to me Mark

Stunning Bike...probably one of the sexiest builds on Rad

Would you ever consider selling that Mark

not putting my hat in the ring like, but it is fooking lovely

Here's a catalogue from the 80's from the UK Hutch distributor.

Hoping mine will look as good as that when i get it.

You do have to keep an eye out for normal Pro Racer F+F's , later decalled as Pro Star's just so some crafty fukker can skim you of mucho more cash claiming it's OG

Nooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaay. I'd sell 1/2 hour to do as you please with my sphincter before that sorry Paul. Let's hope it never comes to the crunch with either.

Not seen that Shiner ad for about 25 years. Forgot about that , awesome. Love the Trick Star below it. Now that'd be cool, building the Trick Star equivalent of the Pro Star for a matching pair.

I was going to say that, watch out for that shit trick, you could find yourself getting fleeced big time if you thought the Pro Star frames were something other than the Pro Racer.

Yes, you could build one if your prepared to chuck £4000ish at a bike but proper Pro Stars left the factory as Pro Star's. The Hutch Kashi's were only available with the complete factory made bike.

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2009, 11:59 PM »

I would like to think i could put a slow burner Pro Star on the list, maybe build it over 2 years, but how do you stop yourself bidding on parts when and if they come up

. I think i might just put my chrome pads to use on something else

mark 2 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 26, 2009, 12:09 AM »

Fook knows how you could stomach doing it all separately. You imagine typing in a £1500 bid on ebay for some aero speeds and try not to throw up. And then keep jabbing a pen into your arm. You'd go snooker loopy.

Do it paul, before the sea levels rise and where all dead

You know money is worthless, so spend it now while you can on somthing that you will enjoy, you only live once

I've said it before and i'll say it again, that is the nicest BMX i've ever seen!!!

steve Beech TA · « **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:01 PM »

Not sure, and dont realy want to, to be honest. there were a few impulse buys from the USA and a few unpaid direct debits along the way though

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:04 PM »

Good to see you got the pads to, i think as a present when i pass my next two tests ill make inroads to a Pro Star.....saying that i bet with every new one build the old stock availability goes down 10%

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:26 PM »

i remember reading somewhere that because Hutch couldn't manufacture Aerospeeds quickly enough,they were offering the Pro Star with either Flight's or Profile cranks.

People who paid before June with an expected delivery 6 to 8 weeks must be really p'ed off

This must be what people mean when they say he'll take your money and let you wait

and then charge for cancellation

Ahem ,,
