So I got this Hutch from a friend a while back, and I can't figure what model it is. The dropouts look different than any Hutch I remember, but I am by no means an expert on BMX bikes. I used it as a winter bike while I was in school, so that is why it has funky fenders. The only other thing I can tell you about the bike that you may not be able to see in the pics is that it had (I have them on another bike now) 3 piece profile cranks, and I think it has suzie hubs.

Sorry about the pics. I just realized that I did not get a pic of the whole bike which is currently at my parents house, so I can't easily get any other pics.

Here is a link to the pics. Thanks.

Looks like the only thing hutch is the stem. Fork looks gt ish.

I guess that is possible, but it would have had to been built like that since the person I got it from is the original owner and didn't swap out the stem. Was it common for shops to build bikes with parts from various companies?

Thanks.

Not a Hutch me thinks. Check brake bridge, Hutches are stamped "Hutch" there. Looks ELFish maybe??

This has me pretty interested at this point. During my next visit home I will try to get some more pics measurements. I would love to know what this bike is. Thanks for all the help.

Frame is not a Hutch. Machined head tube....Patterson?

Forks look like Patterson too.

When seeing a bike, look at it the way you would when we were kids not the way we would as adults with a fixed mentality. We would put whatever was available and cool at the time; with very few exceptions almost everyone I knew as a kid and later as a bike shop BMX manager picked and chose parts rather than go for the all Hutch, all Redline etc

Oh yeah, I thinks it's a Patty..

I'll say Patterson as well. the older style before the PR200.

Is it worth rebuilding?

Any Patterson is well worth rebuilding.

i'm in that it's a "pre-GT" Patterson, too.

i'd take a patterson over a hutch anyday. sweet score!

Yep, that is either a Patterson or a Boss. Check the headtube pic.

pre gt patterson. inverted tnt stem w/ gt bars.
there are two diffrent pictures of a stem and handlebars.
second pic, hutch stem and bars.

boss had pointed dropouts

Heh... you guys are pretty good at this.

That is correct. The bike bike came with the hutch stem and bars. I later put the TNT stem and GT bars on it.

Does anyone know what decal set should have accompanied this bike?

Also, has anyone documented a step by step restoration of a chrome bike?

Thanks again for all the help.
