1981 Hutch Pro Racer
1981 Hutch Pro Racer
Replica of my old race bike from the early 80s
I was lucky enough to be the first person in my state to get a Hutch Pro Racer frame and forks. Can still remember the day I picked it up at the local shop. Shiniest chrome I'd ever seen on a bike. I was forever changing items so this is a mix of what I had over the years plus an upgrade to the cranks and hubs which are higher end items that I couldn't afford back then. Used to run one piece Takagi and Chair sealed hubs. Quick parts list includes Flight cranks, chrome 7x rims, Hutch mag hubs, Comp IIIs, GT bars, Redline Brute stem, MX 900 calipers, DX levers, Kashimax Aero seat, DX seat post, Suntour seatpost clamp, Cal Lite padset.

Bloody nice bike Jarvi. That is what I hope to achieve by the end of my build. That is inspiration.

Thanks for the comments and thanks Gary for fixing up the older one. Here's a few more. In the racing ones I'm number 5 and they were taken at the track in Hobart, Tasmania. I loved that track. The second photo was a result of the old school brakes not working as well as the new ones.

Re: 1981 Hutch Pro Racer
that was one of hutch's best quality's BITD top notch chrome ,....it was a high priority by the owner on the USA version hutches ...guess why a lot of them still have great amounts of chrome still on them 20+ years later .
