You need to finish/build this thing. I am anxious to see it done.

Are the stickers original? This is definitely a pre 81 but how do you date this as a '78?

A 78/79 would have no serial info at all, round brake bridge (like you have) and the sticker would have been a dragster on the front head tube.

Just trying to understand how you came up with the year. Awesome bike either way.

almost done

GASOH · 2009-07-06 3:32pm

Hutch was made in that little purple building filled with all of those broken defective and second rate parts not good enough for a 'Real' Thruster

Is this an 80 or 81 tri power? Thanks for the info in advance.

Thx Von,it seems odd they didn't serial these so you are left to decide what year you have 80 or 81. Itoo will go with 80.

silverhw · 2009-07-06 5:01pm

Wow,thats an awesome build Von. I so love the reedy's

silverhw · 2009-07-06 6:10pm

I wish I could because it has a 19.5 TT,but the funds just ain't there for me to build it.

vonmark01 · 2009-07-06 6:27pm

instead of little by little my buddy Roberto would say "slow by slow"
take your time do it right
mine took 3 years
