I had a Pro Racer and a Trick Star BITD, the TS was one of my favourite bikes. I bought it off a local guy with a set of landing gear forks and then slowly built it up with Hutch parts.







Not long after the pedal picker picture I added Hutch Stem and Pedals, I always preferred flight cranks back then, so never bothered with Aerospeeds as I'd heard they werent much good. Unfortunately the bike got stolen in the winter of that year, bummer!!

I thought most of the Hutch stuff was good, the pedals were really weird at first, but I changed the cages for the freestyle version which were much better, but to be honest I thought the MKS Grafites and Shimano DX were better pedals. The chrome on Hutch parts often seemed to flake too easy, especially seat post clamps and headset locks, which was a bit lame.

It does make me wonder how expensive some of the really rare stuff is, most of it was rare BITD because it was poor quality or bad design and no one ever bought it (Vector Freestyler, Free Agent, Aerospeeds), yet nowadays it commands a ridiculous amount of money rolleyes.gif huh.gif

I just noticed this post, but how about $400 NOS Redline Freestyle Forklifter numberplates?
