1985 Hutch Judge

1985 Judge

1985 Hutch Judge. was painted by Chip. He did a great job. This one needed a restore cause the paint was chipped up really bad.Also a note, when he stripped the frame he said it was very very clean. This was important to me cause I wanted a nice frame since I couldnt afford a NOS one...lolThe dropouts were near flawless, only the one rear drive side looked like it even a had a lug nut attached. No dents, dings, or the like. One very clean frame. Its been done for several months, just haven't been able to get the pixel size right. i hope to come to Rockford one day with it. Some surprises hopefully real soon as well to compliment the bike This is a 85. No question about it. It is 40 digits away from the NOS one that Tom just sold(Atariager). I don't care what anyone says, this rear serial plate didn't end up in Taiwan or China 2 years later and end up on my frame set up. It was suggested to me that this one "may" be a Judge II or made during Hutch's transition during the mid 80's. As soon as I can get more pics I will . Hutch is stamped in the brake bridge. 19 inch top tube and serial on rear dropout
National Pro is almost complete and I think i like it better. pics are coming
I am so Glad i figured out this Pixel thing and got this listed!

doesn't get much better than that. love the red/white color scheme. always cool to see a hutch in a different color combo especially a JUDGE.

I can not wait to add my 82 National pro

Looks killer, Mike!!!

Is the surprise "that surprise"?

mcater · 2009-04-22 6:25pm

Yea, I talked with him a few days ago and he says 3 weeks. Now keep in mind, I have heard this since November and it all relies on "When" he will be in Jackson to do this job. , we did speak on phone the last 2 times and sounded very promising. He is as excited as i am it seems, just a matter of time I am hoping.....wehhhhhhh
Now, as soon as a date is locked in, I will PM you. 2nd weekend in May or around he says. i told him i wanted to do this before June for rockford. we will see..........

If anyone has a judge F/F combo for sale, I know someone who is very interested. You would find it interesting to know whom the buyer would be. PM me if you seriously have a set for sale
Later Chris and i will keep in touch

Well guys, i am going to sleep, long day tomorrow, but...........
I did want to say THANK YOU very much to the 7 people who faved my bike the 1st day it was active on site. That makes me really feel good about my effort and means alot. When I came here 3 years ago, I knew NOTHING! Anoyyed a few, but most of all made a bunch of friends.
Thanks guys! keep the Favs coming! Only if you like though

JoeKat · 2009-06-05 7:16am

Wow that is amazing!!! Empirical beauty. I love the color combo and the component selection.

What's the reasoning for the brake pads?

mcater · 2009-06-06 6:49pm

went with the white vans shoes to keep with the theme....I am really considering some mathuaser's though

Heelz2315 · 2009-08-04 5:55am

Just taking another look...AMAZING bike...and even cooler that Tim signed it. LOVE IT! Nice job!

mcater · 2009-08-04 7:33am

Thanks dude. I havent been on museum in quite a while. I had a few life changes, some hard but things are looking better now. I intend on coming back here more and joining al the fun...
And I love the drama that comes along with it here too
Take care David!
How is your Judge coming? I will have to look at all the new bikes here when I get a chance. I also need to become a pro member cause I have a few things to sell that someone will surely need or want. I still need a Tuf Neck seat post and not a mini but cant find one. I dont want to use a shim. Oh and some of Johns new pedals
