You can't go wrong with either choice. Pick one and run with it

Hmmm...This could be interesting.

Both are cool.

Hutch:

Great chrome!
Classic loop tail design
Nice and quick steering
Great marketing and mystique
Great decals
Light

Skyway ta:
Feels longer than it is
Bada$$ tear drop tubing
Hard to break
Great detail in the metal work
Slower, more stable, steering
Cool decals

I have one of each so I didn't have to choose.

Thats a tough.They are both great rides.

starchild · 2012-12-14 5:40pm

i'll the the pro racer any day. TA's are too small.

SKYWAYNE1026 · 2012-12-14 7:12pm

I have both but the TA is my obvious favorite, the aero tubing, decal font, colors and style are just awesome, plus skyway is great American company with no drama and consistent craftsmanship that survived the 80's. They're ads were great and really appealed to kids BITD, it was my first choice in 83 and still is today.

Although in Hutch's defense, it's off topic but nothing rides like a Judge, very tall, quick, strong and comfortable even with the shorter TT.

that's just not fair, you can't just throw the judge in there like that. that's a no contest

Have owned both and have to say I love the ta hands down but for riding at the time I preferred the pro racer cause it has that extra inch to the standard ta but now I have a ta xl and that is the best bike I personally have ever ridden.

Skywayne1026 you are my new hero, thanks for the link.....

MrOlive · 2013-01-09 4:58am

I love my Hutch, it feels and rides a lot "larger" than a skyway does. My Pro Racer still feels perfectly comfortable today to me, whereas the T.A. feels rather small. I still wish I had a T.A. tho, always wanted a Skyway. You better suck it up and get em both, you will eventually anyway, cause no matter which one you get now, the other one will Gnaw away at you for years, lol

freedo · 2013-01-09 5:49am

Someone said hutch! Get out the popcorn!

I prefer the ta myself

keithandstef · 2013-01-09 6:44am

Marked. What a great link by Skywayne!

DANTHEDOG · 2013-01-09 6:59am

Had both back in the 80s but my fave was my TA set up with the Hutch forks (see pic) it rode great. .

ivegotabike · 2013-01-09 7:37am

Oldschoolmags.com great site!
Tough choice here. I'd go with Hutch.

OldYeller · 2013-01-09 8:24am

The TA is beautiful, but the Hutch rides better IMHO.

I think it's the difference between wanting to look at it all day and wanting to ride it all day.

If you like slower steering bikes the TA may be perfect, especially if you can get an XL.

Hutch Forever · 2013-01-09 9:37am

skyway is for girls !!! Hutch Forever !!!

2 great bike frame and fork set-ups... and are here still today to stand the test of time... we have many great builds of both brands...

Skyway T/A: better styling, lighter, unique, nimble, ahead of its time.
