How big are you? I am guessing you will need a pro sized frame like a
Pro Racer or Judge if you actually intend to race this bike. I have
raced a 1985 Hutch Judge for the past 3 years, and I am now
considering selling the frame, fork, bars, 2 seat clamps, 1 slightly
cut down seat post and a mediun sized 2n1 headlock (all Hutch parts)
and will include the headset (odessey) and 2 reproduction Hutch pads
(bar & top tube)as a package. I am open to offers over $1000 US plus
shipping if it is international.
The frame has been re-finished in a gloss black powdercoat. When they
did the powdercoating they were a little over zealous in stripping
the chrome and created a few tiny pin holes in the toptube. These
have not affected the integrity of the frame, as I have raced and
jumped the bike for 3 years since. To make the bike perfect I would
suggest having it stripped again, have a competent welder fill the
pinholes with a bit of brass and refinish it. For a rider/racer I
chose to leave them as is so I could inspect them regularly to see if
there was any change in them. There has not been.
check here for some pix of the bike built up:

and here for proof that it is still VERY raceable:

if you are interested, don't sleep though, I have a local buyer
interested in it coming to see it in a week.
