Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Hey gang. Just a quick question. Should I stick with these plastic pedals (which suck) to save weight? -or- Should I go with a set of aluminum? They'd look better and..., lol, they're NOT plastic.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
If those plastic pedals suck . . . change 'em. Even if it's to plastic ones that don't suck. I, me personally, speaking for myself, in my opinion would put on a set of aluminum ones. That way you get form and function.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Big, Yes Sir it is. I actually ride *all* my bikes. I refuse to lay my bikes down on the ground. A kick stand is the only way, hence all my bikes have a kick stand.
Thanks, Comay, I just wanted at least one person to back me up in my decision. Thanks.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Preff? Hutch, but a decent set of unique-white bars would also do.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Much better. 
P.S. I still don't agree about the kickstand(s). But, you say tomato. I say broccoli. Maybe some other thread.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Comay, not tryin' to be a smart-@ss, but how else can I keep it from an accidental knock-over when I park it somewhere? Believe me, if there was another way, I'd do it. Thanks for the input though.

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
anyone following this topic, might notice that it just got shorter. enough with the bashing about someones personal taste in parts on their bikes!! many people don't care for the kickstands that Fox or anyone else uses, but it is their bikes and their choice. there were some decent points made on the subject, but just in the wrong way, with personal attacks! Give it a rest, this has been discussed in the past and it may be discussed again, but the way it usually ends up (like this thread), just gives me a headache!!

Mutt, that's MUCH better. I think I missed any *bashing* that went on, but I bet it was not very nice, eh?

Re: 1983 Hutch Pro Racer
Wow this is an old thread
I have two things to add here. As far as taking your bike and buying "correct" Hutch parts. Well you would have a bike with more Hutch parts than anyone who was racing at the time his bike was new. I bet not even the Hutch team had bikes with all Hutch parts. With that said I like the spirit of assembling a bike in the spirit of the time. All custom parts. Only beginners raced stock bikes. because they had not been exposed to all the cool parts that you could buy individually but not on a complete bike. Once they started going to the track, it would be "Oh, CW bars, "Those are cool" Thus I like the bikes that are built like they were race bikes.
As far as the kick stand, First rule of racing is remove reflectors and kick stands. So I would remove it.
