I built it for my son who has been bugging me to build him an old school bike so I put this together for him. He rode it literally one house down the block and said it felt weird and did not like it. So I humbly rode the bike down the block myself jumped a driveway curb for fun and put it in the house to rest.

Nice. Based on the seat mast decal, that's an early pre-serial # frame (1982).

Nice bike..liking the gold highlights! Did you have a cyclone at your house?

yeah, nice bike...whats up with the pictures? LOL

Nice composition. I feel sad for the Hutch that was discarded and left by the trash.

this bike was built for a junk bike buildoff contest on another sight, where u had to use only parts that were laying around no nos or mint parts, and picture creativity was part of the judging

I was kind of wondering the same thing.


Disregard, question answered.

Ahh, I thought it was a spare parts build.

Oh jeez, check my post under Tech for pink hutch stickers. I am doing the same thing. for nothing maybe?

Try changing the seat, and bring the handlebars in a little, Maybe the wheels are too narrow?

The bike was built for a nine yr old that is why the parts are the way they are, it should almost feel like riding a cruiser to us, witht hat late take off feel on the jumps. real smooth and not jitterery

Thats actually a bad [please review the site FAQs] little bike.

That is a nice Hutch and I like the creative photos.

I'm sure your story is typical although my son (who you met at CNJ Sunday) happens to like to ride the bikes I've built (he's only 6 and I've thoroughly brainwahsed him though). He has a new school Quadangle wtih pegs, but he complains it is too heavy to "do jumps" and likes the light weight of the old bikes.

Personally, I don't understand how teenagers (who happen to be almost adult size) like to ride the heavy tanks with way too low handlebar height. Anytime I ride my son's Quad I feel like I'm going to flip over the handlebars.
