Looks like a BB Racing (Bike Brokers) to me. Basically a Profile without the extra bar.

do you have any more info or web site?
were they good bikes?

Bike Brokers was a distributor out of Florida. They had some frames built in the mid 80s. Like I said earlier they were basically Profiles without the extra bar. They show up on ebay from time to time. They are nice frame sets but I think its safe to say they are not in super high demand.

Oh well i like it its cool and very light
Did they make forks? or just profile ones?
Is there a profile model number that it is closest to?

hey waza, got your mail about this ID.
I know it wasn't a Hutch and I was almost sure it was a profile build or something like that.
Never seen such bike.

The hole in the rear dropout gives it away.

Not HUTCH

Those wheels would fetch a mint on e-bay.

The frame you have pictured looks very familiar to me I had the same 1 as a kid I bought it at the profile factory in st.pete i live there.In 1983 i went there and asked if i could buy a hutch frame from them and they said they couldnt sell me 1 but that they had some of there frames that were identical to hutcj exept they didnt say hutch and had the holes in the back so I bought a frame for 100.00 this was at the same time they started making the champ pro its identical without the bar. Mine had profile stickers on it from the factory.So I think you have the same thing I had.The factory told me that they made a batch of them then decided to put the bar in it and they were stuck with them thats why they sold it to me for 100.00

I think the BB droputs are sligtly different from the Profile droputs. Here is a photo of a BB cruiser with the EXACT dropouts.

so let me get this straight. Profile OEM'ed the hutch frames and BB racing?? What do you guys reccommend that i should call it and what stickers should i put on it "frankenstein BMX"??? Waht forks should i put on it? Yes those grafs are my pride and joy i've stored them since new and done about 1 week ever on a bike.

Profile built some Hutch frames and they also build the BB Racing frames. This is very common in the bicycle world. The key is the frames are different. Each of them had their own frame designs that was not shared by the other. The Hutch frames had dropouts that did not have a hole. The Profile had the extra bar and the frame dropouts had a hole. The BB Racing frames did not have the extra bar and I think the dropouts are slightly different than the Profile dropouts. Notice the BB dropouts go under the chain stays. I think the Profile dropouts were like the Hutch dropouts and only were to the rear ofthe loop.

so is everyone decided that this is a BBracing frame?? Does this company still exsist? Any sticker sets available?
