Post by: CD17 on April 10, 2009, 09:19 PM: 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 :)

Post by: oldschool rider on April 10, 2009, 09:39 PM: 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. :daumenhoch:

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

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.

Post by: oldschool rider on April 13, 2009, 09:36 AM: 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.

Also your forks do not have pegs, I think the early ones didn't have pegs 8)

Title: Re: Hutch Trickstar
Post by: oldschool rider 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.

Post by: JAY on April 13, 2009, 10:26 AM: 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 :D....made sense at the time :-\

Post by: oldschool rider on June 06, 2009, 01:33 PM: Our tastes are very similar Terry, only thing I would change would be the bars and rims to chrome ones.

Fook why did I sell my Trickstar to you :LolLolLolLol:

That looks fantastic and I'm glad that you have brought it back to it's former glory, well done mate :daumenhoch:

Steve.
