Any idea on what other models will be in the series?

This is actually going to be a full-blown effort. An equal number of new-school and old-school brands will be represented, such as Fit, S&M, Hoffman, MirraCo, Sunday, United, Haro, SE Bikes, Hutch, CW, GT, Mongoose, and Redline. They have a good plan for accessory items too, so this should be a really neat full line of products.

Awesome.....I've been waiting for someone to start making old school bikes ever since the  80's finger boards were released a couple years back.

John- If you put the carpet in the box, I'll buy it! LOL!

...how come the Trick Star doesn't have Hutch (tm) pedals?!!!

Both of those packages have the Hutch Bear Trap pedals on the assembled bikes. The Bear Traps are white on the single-bike package, and silver on the Bike Shop package.

We've talked about a lot of ideas over the past year, so some things may have changed along the way. There might be a Hutch accessory package, which contains higher-end Hutch parts. There also might be a "special-edition" Hutch at some point, offered in very low numbers, and possibly inserted randomly into the shipments to the stores. I know for sure that other colors will become available (such as pink), and maybe optioned with different parts or different colored parts. I just learned yesterday that those different versions could happen as frequently as every 2 months, so that tells me that you might want to keep checking the storeshelves often. They probably place an order from the manufacturer for a certain color, and once they are sold-out they move onto the next color (rather than re-order the same exact product over-and-over).

I'd like to add that the Hutch bikes are not supposed to be "all-Hutch". You're supposed to want to have fun assembling/disassembling with different parts. Today's style of collecting vintage bikes has gotten away from what it used to be like. Very few people had complete brand-specific builds BITD. I'd like to see guys put Bear Trap pedals on a PK Ripper just as much as putting DX's on a Trick Star. This goes for real bikes and finger bikes.

Oh, and for you "race" guys, there's race finger bikes coming too. The Trick Star just happened to be the first one out of the gate.

Curses!  Foiled again!  I saw the DXs in the bike shop package and ya can't really see the shape of the installed pedals from the side.

Anyone remember the original finger bikes? One of my prized possesions...pretty sad for a 46 year old, huh?

ya i have a gt from waaaaaay before flick tricks
i had this same one when i was a kid in the 80's so had to get it when i saw it on ebay a while back...

Will the S&M's be made in the USA?
